Job Description

Job Description

Join a growing team helping build better homes.

• Complete reports using company software on a tablet
• Communicate professionally with builders and site supervisors when needed
• Travel to job sites throughout Eastern Pennsylvania using a company vehicle
• Maintain testing equipment and company vehicle

What We're Looking For

We value experience in any of the following:

• Residential construction
• HVAC installation or service
• Home inspection
• Building inspection
• Energy auditing
• Weatherization
• Carpentry or framing
• Insulation installation
• Quality control

Requirements

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Comfortable driving throughout Eastern Pennsylvania
• Able to climb ladders and work on active construction sites
• Able to lift and carry approximately 50 pounds
• Comfortable using tablets, smartphones, and mobile apps
• Excellent communication and organizational skills
• Ability to work independently 

Preferred Qualifications

• HERS Rater certification
• RESNET experience
• BPI certification
• Blower door testing experience
• Duct leakage testing experience
• Building science or HVAC experience

What We Offer

• Competitive hourly pay based on experience
• Company truck

• Paid training
• Paid time off
• Paid holidays
• Health benefits
• Stable, year-round work with a growing company
