Home Based Envelope Stuffing Jobs Near Me

Insulation Technician

Blown Right Insulation is a growing insulation company looking for an experienced Insulation Technician to join our team.

Our current workload consists primarily of residential retrofit projects, including attic insulation, insulation removal, air sealing, ventilation improvements, and wall insulation. However, our technicians may also work on residential new construction, additions, remodels, multifamily properties, and commercial insulation projects as our company continues to grow.

We are looking for someone with previous insulation and attic experience who understands that insulation work can involve much more than simply blowing material into an attic. Depending on the project, technicians may perform removal, air sealing, ventilation, batt installation, blown insulation, dense packing, net-and-blow, wet-spray cellulose, foam board installation, and other building-envelope work.

As a small and growing company, our workload and project types can vary. We are looking for someone who is comfortable with that environment and wants the opportunity to grow with the company.

Compensation

This position is paid based on the total applicable square footage of each completed job:

• Insulation Installation: $0.15 per sq. ft.
• Insulation Removal: $0.20 per sq. ft.

Example – 1,000 Sq. Ft. Removal & Installation

• Insulation removal: $200
• New insulation installation: $150
• Total production pay: $350

Compensation is production-based rather than based on a guaranteed number of weekly hours. Actual earnings will depend on project size, project type, workload, and the number of scheduled projects.

Work Schedule & Job Volume

This is a variable-schedule position. Candidates should understand that the number and size of projects can change from week to week and throughout the year.

Our current workload typically averages approximately 3–5 projects per week from April through August. During our busier season, generally September through March, workload may increase to approximately 5–8 projects per week.

These numbers are provided to give applicants a realistic understanding of our current workload and are not a guarantee of a specific number of projects, hours, or weekly earnings.

As the company grows, project volume and the types of projects we perform may also change.
