This customer-facing role is designed for a hands-on building professional with a strong technical foundation in building science. The Specialist will work directly with builders and contractors in the field, providing training, technical support, and real-time problem-solving to advance resilient home construction practices. This role bridges the gap between jobsite realities and business strategy, serving as a key conduit for field insights that inform product and system innovation, and contractor engagement.

Key Responsibilities:

Field Engagement & Support

• Partner with builders and contractors, and installation partners on active job sites to provide building science guidance, support proper system installation, and troubleshoot real-world challenges.
• Support builder-driven opportunities by helping translate resilient construction practices and system specification into field execution.
• Support field adoption through pre-construction guidance, jobsite observations, installation support, and identification of barriers that could prevent broader implementation.
• Collaborate with Territory Managers, Technical Services, and Contractor Engagement teams to deliver coordinated support to customers.

Training & Education

• Conduct building science and resilience training programs across multiple modalities, including in-the-field, classroom, and online.
• Deliver tailored education to contractors, builders, and architects, adapting content to regional needs and varying levels of technical expertise.
• Work collaboratively with the architectural/specification community to educate, through CEU courses, and develop/update construction specifications to include building science and resilient construction best practices.

Customer-Centric Insight Gathering

• Actively listen and observe on job sites, in meetings, and over calls to identify builder, contractor, installer and architect pain points.
• Document and communicate field insights to internal teams to inform product and system innovation and contractor engagement programs.
• Serve as a trusted technical resource for internal stakeholders, helping translate field realities into actionable strategies and scalable building science solutions.
