They provide information on local ecosystems, wildlife behavior, and conservation efforts while ensuring the safety and enjoyment of participants.

Excellent interpersonal skills, adaptability, and clear communication help Field Guides connect with guests and navigate unexpected situations in remote environments. These competencies are crucial for ensuring visitor safety, delivering informative and enjoyable experiences, and managing the dynamic challenges of outdoor guiding.

Job description

Make homes safer, healthier, and more energy efficient-while leading a skilled, hands-on team.


We're looking for a Weatherization Field Technician Crew Lead who takes pride in craftsmanship, leadership, and meaningful work. In this role, you'll lead a crew improving homes through energy-saving upgrades that lower utility costs and increase safety for the families we serve.

You'll work in the field alongside your team-installing, problem-solving, and ensuring every job meets the highest standards-while coordinating with leadership to keep projects running smoothly and on schedule.


Schedule & Location

  • Hours: Monday-Thursday, 7:00 AM - 5:30 PM (3-day weekends)
  • Location: Currently Vineyard, relocating soon to Provo
  • Position Type: Full-time, hourly (40 hours/week)


What You'll Do

Lead & Manage

  • Oversee and manage the Weatherization Field Technician crew and daily schedule
  • Coordinate with leadership to meet monthly and annual production goals
  • Ensure all work meets Utah Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP) Field Guide standards
  • Review completed jobs and approve final installations
  • Maintain a safe job site, including proper PPE use
  • Track inventory and complete work orders accurately

Field Work & Installation

You'll stay hands-on in the field, performing and guiding work such as:

  • Air sealing (attics, ducts, bypasses) to reduce energy loss
  • Installing insulation (attics, ductwork, pipes, water heaters)
  • Installing vapor barriers in crawl spaces
  • Replacing windows and exterior doors (double-pane vinyl, insulated fiberglass)
  • Installing ventilation systems and ensuring proper exhaust venting
  • Installing safety equipment (smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors)
  • Performing blower door testing and worst-case draft testing
  • Supporting HVAC-related weatherization improvements

Client Interaction

  • Review project details and paperwork with homeowners
  • Provide clear education on improvements and energy savings
  • Maintain a professional, respectful, and clean presence in clients' homes


What You Bring

Required Skills & Abilities

  • Strong leadership and on-site project management experience
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Solid problem-solving and conflict management abilities
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Basic computer skills
  • Proficiency with power tools and job site safety
  • Ability to read a measuring tape and complete projects efficiently

Certifications (Required Within 1 Year)

  • OSHA 30
  • Building Science Principles
  • Lead Safety Certification
  • RMGA Certification
  • Weatherization Crew Lead Certification

Education & Experience

  • High school diploma (or equivalent)
  • 2+ years of related experience or equivalent training
  • Experience leading teams
  • EPA and RMGA certifications (preferred)
  • Knowledge of weatherization techniques and materials (preferred)

Work Environment

  • Work takes place in client homes and outdoors
  • Includes attics, basements, crawl spaces, and living areas
  • Frequent local travel required

Physical Requirements

  • Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs
  • Frequent bending, kneeling, crawling, climbing, and balancing
  • Comfortable working in tight or confined spaces

Why This Role Stands Out

  • 4-day workweek - enjoy long weekends every week
  • Leadership + hands-on work - not stuck behind a desk
  • Meaningful impact - help families save money and improve home safety
  • Skill-building - gain valuable certifications and industry expertise


Benefits & Perks

We offer a well-rounded benefits package designed to support your health, financial future, and work-life balance:

Health & Wellness

  • Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
  • Gym membership partial reimbursement
  • Short-term and long-term disability coverage
