Weatherization Installer — Level 1

WX Installer Level 1 — Portland, Oregon | Full time | $23.75/hour base pay

Put your practical skills to work making Portland homes more comfortable and energy efficient. As a Level 1 weatherization installer, you’ll install insulation and seal air leaks with guidance from experienced teammates, build confidence on the job, and see the difference your work makes.

What you’ll do

• Install attic, floor, and wall insulation and complete assigned air-sealing and duct-sealing work.
  

• Protect customers’ homes, prepare materials, and use hand tools, power tools, ladders, and weatherization equipment safely.
  

• Follow work orders and crew direction; flag access, material, or quality concerns before moving ahead.
  

• Keep tools, vehicles, and work areas organized, and complete photos, checklists, time records, and job notes.
  

What success looks like

Success means completing assigned work safely, protecting the home, and consistently improving your workmanship and independence. Advancement toward Level 2 depends on demonstrated skills, quality, safety, and reliability—not simply time on the crew.
