Energy Efficiency Inspector Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About Us

ReVireo is an energy efficiency and green building services company. We provide a range of consulting, inspection, and certification services to architects, builders, developers, contractors, and building owners.

Position Description and Responsibilities

The Residential Energy Efficiency Inspector position is a hands-on, field-based role in which the employee will conduct onsite inspections and tests to assess the energy efficiency of new homes.

The employee will travel to the assigned construction sites, conduct the inspections and/or tests, record results, and communicate issues, recommendations, and results with the construction manager.

The employee will learn and utilize construction techniques, building science, energy efficiency terminology, construction timelines, and communication with clients.
