Project Manager North East

Aeroseal • Boston, MA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Aeroseal was established to advance patented duct-sealing technology and develop a network of providers serving residential and commercial customers. The Aeroseal process seals ductwork from the inside out by pressurizing escaping air and allowing polymer particles to bond first to the edges of a leak and then to each other until the leak is closed. The Aeroseal process has been recognized with Popular Science magazine’s “Best of What’s New” award and the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Energy 100” award. The Department of Energy also identified Aeroseal duct sealing as one of the most beneficial technologies made available to American consumers since the agency’s creation.
