What Does a Insulation Installer Do?
The job of an Insulation Installer is important in the construction industry because they keep buildings safe and comfortable. As an Insulation Installer, you'll be working with different types of insulation materials that are used to control and maintain the temperatures in buildings.
Most of your time will be spent in residential or commercial construction sites. As part of a construction team, you'll work both indoors and outdoors, helping to ensure that buildings are energy-efficient and that they meet all the necessary building and safety codes.
Some of your main responsibilities as an Insulation Installer include measuring the space you need to insulate, cutting and shaping insulation materials, and then installing them in the required areas, such as walls or attic spaces. You will also maintain records of the insulation work you've done, for future reference and for inspections.
