Notes
Although the Field Technician will always be inside a house during testing, there will often be times when there is no heat or air conditioning within the testing location. Therefore, it must be understood and expected that the Field Technician will be exposed to a variety of environmental situations, such as extreme heat and cold, and access to testing locations may require exposure to rain and other elements. Along with these climate-related factors, the Field Technician will be faced with other common hazards found on construction sites, such as uneven surfaces, sharp objects, unpredictable actions of other subcontractors, etc.
Residential new construction work is somewhat seasonal. As such, there will be times of the year when working longer hours are expected and vacation time is less available; conversely, there are also times with shorter working hours and vacation time is readily available.
