At E3, Field Technicians hold a valid Energy Advisor certification and carry out one of the most vital parts of our business; conducting blower door and commissioning tests on-site, providing photo documentation and collecting accurate data to produce high-quality reports that E3 is well known for. Field Technicians communicate and interpret test results on site with clients, using their problem-solving abilities help clients obtain better results as they go. On top of this, Field Technicians at E3 are organized, punctual and reliable – daily duties include scheduling testing and keeping appointments, developing relationships with clients to establish rapport and working with Project Managers to help complete project certifications on time. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the typical Field Technician duties:

• Conduct visual site audits taking measurements, gathering data, and taking digital photos.

• Coordinate with team members and clients on a daily basis.

Secondly, you aren’t just helping clients; you want to suggest more intelligent fixes for their problems as they require them – ideally you have the ability to understand the technical aspects of energy efficiency as they relate to construction details, building science and certification programs.
