Insulators/Insulation Workers

The best way to gain experience in the field is to complete an apprenticeship or work as a helper to an insulation worker.

Insulation workers must be in good physical shape and have good dexterity in order to work in confined spaces, effectively use hand and power tools, and reach above their heads to install insulation. Other important traits include critical thinking, time-management, and communication skills; the ability to follow instructions; and strong interpersonal skills.
