Crawlspace Encapsulation Technician

A-1 Termite & Pest Control is hiring a full-time Crawlspace Encapsulation Technician in Lenoir, NC, serving the surrounding area.

About the role

Turn damp, neglected crawlspaces into clean, dry spaces that protect customers’ homes. You’ll earn $17–$21 per hour, receive paid hands-on training, and have a clear opportunity to advance into a Lead role. Construction experience is helpful, but we’ll train a reliable candidate who is comfortable with demanding physical work in confined spaces.

Responsibilities

• Install vapor barriers, liners, and encapsulation systems in residential and commercial crawlspaces.
• Set up moisture control equipment including dehumidifiers, sump pumps, and drainage systems.
• Seal foundation vents, insulate rim joists, and correct airflow and humidity issues.
• Address moisture, wood-destroying organism damage, and standing-water conditions.
• Perform structural repairs such as sub-floor and support work as needed.
• Keep job sites clean, stay on schedule, and leave every crawlspace better than you found it.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with homeowners and your crew lead.

Requirements

• Strong work ethic and reliability — you show up on time, ready to work.
• Comfortable working in tight, low-clearance spaces and in varying temperatures.
• Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn our systems and standards.
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs, kneel, crawl, and work on your hands and knees for extended periods.
• Valid driver's license and able to maintain a neat, customer-ready appearance and follow the company dress code.
• Minimum age: 21 years old.

Qualifications

• Prior crawlspace, construction, insulation, waterproofing, or pest control experience is a plus — but we will train the right person.

Pay

$17 to $21 per hour, based on experience. Overtime available, including some Saturdays during peak season.

Schedule

Full-Time, Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM.

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• $10,000 in company-paid life insurance.
• Paid holidays.
• Up to two weeks of accrued PTO.
• Paid training and tools/equipment provided.
• Company vehicle provided for job-related travel (must be picked up from and returned to the Lenoir office each workday).
