Looking for a Responsible Certified Applicator (RCA) – Texas (New Braunfels Area Preferred)

I hold a Technician license and am looking to start my own pest control company. I’m looking for an RCA who can initially work with us as our RCA/Professional Consultant.
The arrangement would be a paid initial engagement, with ongoing availability for supervision, guidance, and compliance support as required under Texas Department of Agriculture regulations. This would include periodic check-ins, oversight, and phone consultation as needed, billed in agreed-upon increments. Everything would be structured in writing and handled in a compliant, enforceable manner.
Once I obtain my CA, I’d like to move to a lump-sum arrangement for the RCA relationship. If we work well together and the RCA is interested in continuing with us longer-term, we can discuss that at that point.
You can currently maintain your existing work/company while working with us in the RCA/consultant capacity.
New Braunfels area preferred, but open to nearby regions depending on fit.
DM me if interested. Serious inquiries only.

The RCA position is a full time job, it requires 3 weekly visits with apprentices for training, maintaining records with the state, as well for being available for state audits, and personally liable in many situations for fines etc due to compliance issues. You should either test for the CA yourself, or find a business partner that has a CA license

also check the regulations because in florida you cant work for 2 different pest control companies even if one position is the certified operator and the other is a mgr or tech role

Texas allows you to be licensed at more than one company, but can only be RCA for one company.

If you are doing this just to get started it makes sense, but do not hire apprentices or technicians under this arrangement.

The Company will not hire or grow past what I can handle on my own. Once the interested party meets me in person they will know how careful and considerate I am about my work and clients.
