• Good physical condition, able to work in varied environments including rooftops, tunnels, and other outdoor or enclosed spaces.
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with membrane systems beyond roofing, such as waterproofing foundations, walls, and tunnels.
• Familiarity with GPS technology or mapping software to create aerial maps of leak locations.

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary with opportunities for growth.
• Training and certification in Electronic Leak Location technology, including the dipole method.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and retirement plans.
• Opportunities to work on a wide range of membrane projects across the country.
