Mechanical Insulation is part of the mechanical building trades. All buildings need mechanical systems such as pipes and ducts to move air and water throughout the building. When this air or water is chilled or heated, energy conservation specialists, known as Mechanical Insulators, come in to apply insulation and firestopping systems according to specifications. Not only does this specialized work prevent condensation and therefore mildew from destroying the building from within, but it also helps ensure fire-safety and prevents energy loss.

Only apply if you are legally entitled to work full time in Canada and will be able to attend about one month of technical/classroom training in Port Coquitlam out of each year for four years to complete a four year program.

Like all construction tradespeople, Insulators are required to travel to various jobsites; Therefore, access to a reliable vehicle is an asset. Without a vehicle, access to public transit is essential, because punctuality and consistent attendance are a top priority.

Experience as a construction labourer or construction site cleaner is an asset.

Proficient English is needed, as a safety requirement on work sites, and to be able to pass the technical training components later on.
