Weatherization Technician
Earthshare Construction LLC is seeking a highly skilled Weatherization Technician to accomplish the on-site operations of our weatherization projects. The Weatherization Technician will be instrumental in furthering Earthshare’s mission to enhance energy efficiency and reduce utility costs for our clients. Primary responsibilities include performing weatherization work such as insulating and air sealing basements, windows/doors, ceilings, attics, attic hatches, crawl spaces, knee walls, and catwalks. As part of the company’s weatherization team, the Weatherization Tech is also responsible for customer satisfaction and job-site readiness, including safety, protection of surfaces, and cleanliness. This role reports to the Weatherization Crew Lead and the Weatherization Project Manager/Energy Auditor. The ideal candidate will have a background in carpentry, an exceptional work ethic, and a passion for sustainable building practices. While prior experience with carpentry/weatherization techniques and applications is preferred, it is not required and Earthshare will train individuals on skills that are unfamiliar to them.
The ideal candidate would have weatherization experience with some knowledge of building science and residential energy efficiency. However, a background in the trades or other relevant hands-on work could be a sufficient substitute.
