Lead Insulation Installer

Always On Green Home is a NYSERDA-approved weatherization contractor serving income-eligible homeowners across Queens, Long Island, and the broader NYC metro area through the Empower program. We deliver whole-home energy upgrades — insulation, air sealing, health and safety improvements — funded through New York State at no cost to qualifying homeowners.

We are building our first in-house W2 weatherization crew and are looking for an experienced Crew Lead

to anchor it. This is a ground-floor opportunity with a growing company that takes the work seriously.

The Role

As Weatherization Crew Lead, you will direct a 3-person crew through residential weatherization scopes

of work generated by our energy auditors. Every job is different — you will read the audit report, plan the

day, lead your crew through the work, and ensure everything meets NYSERDA and BPI standards before

you leave the site. You are the person who makes the job go correctly and represents Always On Green

Home in the homeowner’s home.

What You’ll Do

• Lead a 4-man crew through full weatherization scopes: attic insulation, wall insulation (dense

pack), basement/crawlspace air sealing, and related measures

• Read and execute against NYSERDA energy audit reports and scope of work documents
• Operate dense pack cellulose and blown-in insulation equipment
• Perform air sealing using spray foam, caulk, weatherstripping, and rigid materials
• Conduct pre- and post-job blower door tests to verify air sealing performance
• Perform combustion safety checks including CO testing and worst-case depressurization tests
• Ensure full ACP-5 lead paint compliance protocol on pre-1978 homes
• Maintain accurate job documentation: photos, scope completion checklists, NYSERDA paperwork
• Communicate job status, material needs, and any site issues to management daily
• Train and develop your installer and helper over time

What We’re Looking For

Required

• 3 years of residential weatherization or insulation installation experience
• Hands-on experience with dense pack cellulose, blown-in insulation, and air sealing
• Familiarity with NYSERDA Empower program requirements and documentation
• Blower door testing experience (pre and post)
• Combustion safety testing knowledge (CO, CAZ, spillage)
• ACP-5 lead paint compliance experience on occupied homes
• Valid driver’s license with clean record
• Physically capable of working in attics, crawlspaces, and confined spaces
• Strong communication with homeowners and management

Strongly Preferred

• BPI Building Analyst certification (or active candidate — we will support completion)
• 40-hour SST card (NYC Site Safety Training)
• OSHA 10 or 30
• Experience operating a company vehicle and managing daily job logistics
• Bilingual English/Spanish a significant plus given our service area
