Residential Energy Efficiency Inspector Position (Central NJ)

About Us

ReVireo is an energy efficiency and green building services company. We provide a range of consulting, inspection, and certification services to architects, builders, developers, contractors, and building owners.

About the Role

The Residential Energy Efficiency Inspector is a hands-on, field-based role conducting onsite inspections and tests to assess the energy efficiency of new homes. Inspections include quantitative data collection (e.g., measuring HVAC duct leakage and whole-house envelope leakage) and qualitative data collection (e.g., identifying construction materials and photographing the home).

After a 2-month training and certification period (or less if already credentialed as a HERS Rater), you will be assigned daily inspections. You will travel to construction sites, perform tests, record results, and communicate findings and recommendations to construction managers. The role involves learning construction techniques, building science, energy efficiency terminology, and client communication.

ReVireo provides all inspection equipment; you will use your personal vehicle for transportation (compensated at the IRS standard mileage rate).
