What are the responsibilities and job description for the Home Energy Sealer position at Energy Diagnostics, Inc.?
Energy Sealer – Residential Construction
Energy Diagnostics is hiring Energy Sealers to join our growing team! This is a great opportunity for someone who is dependable, eager to learn, and excited to work in the residential construction industry. No prior experience is required—we'll provide all the training, tools, and support you need to succeed. Experience in construction, insulation, or weatherization is a plus, but not a must.
In this role, you'll work on-site at new home construction projects throughout Illinois, applying air sealing measures that boost energy efficiency, comfort, and overall performance. You'll help builders meet important energy code requirements while contributing to the delivery of high-quality, energy-efficient homes.
A valid driver's license and a clean driving record are required, as you'll travel to residential job sites each day. The good news? You'll be driving a company-provided work van and using a company gas card, so you won't be putting miles or fuel costs on your personal vehicle. Reliability, punctuality, and the ability to work independently are essential to success in this field-based position.
What You'll Do
- Apply air sealing materials (such as caulk, foam, and weatherstripping) to reduce air leakage in homes under construction
- Inspect and identify gaps, cracks, and penetrations in the building envelope
- Use foam and caulk guns, ladders, lifts, and other company-provided equipment to complete work safely and efficiently
- Follow established best practices to ensure homes meet energy code requirements
- Collaborate with site supervisors and coworkers to ensure high-quality workmanship
- Maintain clean, organized workspaces and follow all safety protocols
- Drive a company-provided work van to and from daily job sites using a company gas card
- Communicate clearly with team members and project managers to stay on schedule
What We're Looking For
- Experience in construction, insulation, weatherization, or air sealing is preferred, but not required—we'll train the right person
- Someone who is detail-oriented, dependable, and takes pride in doing quality work
- Comfortable using hand tools and equipment, including foam and caulk guns, ladders, and lifts
- Willing and able to work in attics, crawlspaces, and other confined or hard-to-reach areas
- Comfortable working in a variety of weather conditions and home construction stages
- Self-motivated, reliable, and able to manage daily responsibilities with minimal supervision
- A good communicator who works well with others and values being part of a team
Must Haves
- A valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Ability to lift and carry up to 50 lbs., bend, climb ladders, and perform physical work throughout the day
- Ability and willingness to travel to residential construction job sites daily
- A positive attitude, strong work ethic, and commitment to safety
- Willingness to travel to our Valparaiso, Indiana, office for initial training and occasional team meetings
