Position Overview: HES is seeking a detail-oriented Inspector to join our field inspections team supporting a utility program in New York. The Inspector will perform on-site air sealing and attic insulation inspections at multifamily properties, document conditions through photos and video, and produce post-inspection reports. This is a field-based role that benefits from solid attention to detail, good documentation habits, and the ability to manage a regular schedule of inspections across multiple sites.

• Conduct on-site air sealing and attic insulation inspections at multifamily properties.
• Verify that installed work meets program specifications and applicable standards.
• Inspect related building envelope measures as assigned, such as roof and wall insulation, above-deck roof insulation, and window replacement.
• Perform interim envelope inspections prior to areas being enclosed; document any areas that have become inaccessible.
• Identify deficiencies, incomplete work, or safety concerns and document them clearly in the field report.

• Capture date- and time-stamped photographs and video of pre-existing conditions, in-progress work, and completed installations.
• Complete pre- and post-inspection reports using approved templates, with accuracy and clarity.
• Submit inspection reports in a timely manner, in line with project needs.
• Maintain organized records of all inspections, photos, and supporting documentation.

• Confirm scope of work and required documentation prior to each site visit.
• Coordinate site access and scheduling logistics with property contacts and program staff.
• Communicate proactively about scheduling, availability, or anything that may affect inspection workflow.
• Represent HES professionally to property owners, contractors, building staff, and program partners.

• Follow program protocols, inspection checklists, and reporting standards.
• Stay current on program guidelines and any updates to inspection requirements.
• Conduct inspections in compliance with applicable health and safety standards.

• Ability to travel reliably to job sites within the assigned region. A valid driver’s license is helpful but not required if you can consistently reach sites by public transportation, as many of our inspectors do.
