About The Position

GreenSavers is hiring a Level 1 Weatherization Installer to help make Portland homes more comfortable and energy efficient. The role installs insulation and seals air leaks with guidance from experienced teammates, while building confidence and skills on the job.

GreenSavers helps homeowners improve comfort and energy efficiency and values employees who take pride in their work, support teammates, and keep learning.
