Job Description:

Description:LOCATION: We are hiring in both Providence, RI and Boston, MA
Who We Are: Building Enclosure Science (BES) is a dynamic leader in the building enclosure industry. We love to help building owners, architects, and developers solve their most pressing problems. It might be figuring out where a pesky leak is in the roof of a warehouse, designing an energy efficient building for a new medical facility, or helping homeowners make upgrades to their condo. It's all about understanding the real problem and finding a long-term solution.
Who You Are: You are an early-career or aspiring building enclosure professional. You aren't just looking for a job, but a long-term career in the construction engineering and building enclosure industry. You are eager to learn, curious about how buildings work, and passionate about solving problems. Your experience working on a job site makes you a top candidate, but your curiosity puts you over the top. Just like us, you ask great questions to get to the root of the problem and don't stop asking those questions until you figure it out. As a Technician with BES, you can build on your strengths and grow a flourishing career for years to come.
What You Will Do: You will prepare all the equipment needed for a day on site then assist with building system forensic investigations and documenting the conditions you see. We'll teach you how to safely navigate a job site from climbing ladders, using lifts, and when to wear your hard hat (all the time---you wear it all the time). You will become an essential member of the project team by coordinating services with your colleagues and other experts supporting the work. Writing and communicating with contractors and clients is a key part of what we do so you'll come back to the office and write a clear and concise field report about what happened on site. Your project manager will review the work, provide coaching so you can grow, and help deliver the final product.Requirements:Key Responsibilities:

• Assist with building system forensics, condition assessments, existing condition, and destructive and non-destructive testing.
