Building Envelope Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Resource Innovations is seeking a Residential Field Technician in Indiana to support the field team delivering the Inflation Reduction Act Program. In this role, you will be responsible for delivering high-quality in-home Energy Efficiency audits and ensuring quality control for our HOMES and HEAR programs.

This program offers no-cost home energy audits that help customers identify opportunities to reduce energy use and utility costs through energy-efficient upgrades such as heat pumps, electric appliances, and insulation. By leveraging advanced software tools and expert recommendations-and by covering a significant portion of project costs while offering additional rebates for high-impact energy savings-the program makes it more affordable for homeowners to improve comfort, efficiency, and overall energy performance.

In this role, you will serve as a customer-focused field technician with proficiency in BPI standards and related certifications. Your primary responsibility will be to conduct in-home audits and visual inspections of installed energy-efficiency measures. This includes inspecting all areas of the home-such as foundations, basements, crawlspaces, and mechanical systems-to ensure proper installation and operation. Based on program needs and workload, you may also support the broader field auditing team.

The inspector is responsible for accurately documenting and verifying installed equipment, including photographing installations and confirming systems are functioning as intended. When inspections identify deficiencies or non-compliance, you will collaborate closely with the program team to define, track, and verify appropriate corrective actions.

The ideal candidate will bring experience in energy auditing, building science, home inspections or related fields, along with established relationships within housing, rebate/incentive programs, and community development. Strong leadership skills, a focus on team building and customer service, and knowledge of relevant standards and practices, particularly BPI certifications, are essential. Excellent communication and problem-solving abilities will set you apart.

Your oversight will extend to residential weatherization, HVAC, and water heating installation inspections, as you review QA/QC findings to ensure program integrity. Working with partners to identify and implement effective solutions based on audit findings and client feedback will be key to your success. Additionally, you will collaborate cross-functionally with various teams to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of Resource Innovations' program solutions.
