Be the Final Line of Defense: Become a Quality Control Inspector

Quality Control Inspectors are the guardians of the mission. You come in after the work is complete to verify that every weatherization measure was installed correctly, safely, and in a way that delivers real energy savings and health benefits for the homeowner.
This is a senior, high-trust role. Most Quality Control Inspectors have worked their way up through the weatherization field, often starting as Crew Technicians, advancing to Crew Leads or Energy Auditors, and developing a deep understanding of building science and weatherization techniques.

Quality Control Inspectors review completed weatherization work to ensure it meets program standards, performs as intended, and improves energy efficiency, health, and safety for the client.
Your inspections protect homeowners, crews, and the integrity of the entire program.

What Sets This Role Apart
