Career Advancement Pay:
$21.00-$30.00+ per hour based on experience, skill level and advancement Learn a Trade. Develop a Craft. Become a Specialist. Seal Out Scorpions is expanding our Building Performance Sealing division and developing our next team of skilled professionals. We are not looking for someone who simply wants another technician job. We are looking for people who enjoy working with their hands, solving problems, learning how homes actually work, and developing the skills to become a Building Performance Sealing Craftsman . For more than 26 years, Seal Out Scorpions has specialized in protecting Arizona homes from one of the Southwest's most difficult residential pests: the Arizona bark scorpion. Along the way, we developed Building Performance Sealing as a discipline. This is not a basic "caulking" or pest-control sealing service. Traditional building weatherization generally focuses on larger energy and air-loss issues. Our work goes deeper into what we call micro-weatherization , identifying and correcting the hundreds of small openings, construction gaps, penetrations, joints and pathways that can allow pests and uncontrolled airflow through a home. Doing this correctly requires an understanding of the building, materials, airflow, pest behavior, construction methods and skilled application. That is what we teach. We Are Building Our Next Team Our experienced Tier 1 Building Performance Sealing Team performs our highest-level work. As we expand, we are developing a Tier 2 Team of technicians who will work within our standards while building the knowledge, technical ability and craftsmanship required to advance into Tier 1. You do not need to walk through our door already knowing everything we do. You do need to bring the right foundation: Dependability. Mechanical ability. Curiosity. Attention to detail. Personal responsibility. Coachability. Pride in your work. We can teach techniques. We can teach building science concepts. We can teach our sealing systems and standards. We can teach you how to recognize pathways most people never notice. What is much harder to teach is the desire to become excellent at a craft. What You'll Learn Building Performance Sealing technicians work inside and outside residential structures performing detailed exclusion and micro-weatherization work. You may learn to diagnose and address: Interior wall, ceiling and floor-to-wall penetrations Baseboards and finish transitions Plumbing and utility penetrations Cabinetry and built-in construction gaps Electrical and mechanical penetrations Interior and exterior door systems Garage and structural transitions Construction joints and hidden pest pathways Air movement and pressure-related pathways Pest entry points that traditional sealing commonly overlooks Proper selection and application of different sealing materials and methods Not every opening gets caulk. And this is not a "caulking" service. Part of becoming a professional is learning what should be sealed, how it should be sealed, what material or method belongs there, and when something should not be sealed at all. The Career Path We want technicians who want to become more valuable over time. Tier 2 Technician → Advanced Tier 2 → Tier 1 Building Performance Sealing Professional → Lead / Specialist Opportunities Advancement is based on demonstrated skill, quality, reliability, knowledge, judgment and the ability to consistently perform to our standards. Our goal is not simply to create employees who can complete tasks. Our goal is to develop craftsmen who understand why the work is being performed and can recognize when something isn't right. You May Be a
Strong Fit If You Have Experience In:
Painting, finish work, caulking, weatherization, carpentry, doors, cabinetry, drywall, construction, remodeling, home repair, handyman work, HVAC/weatherization support, pest exclusion or another skilled hands-on trade.

Your reliable transportation is required. A Different Kind of Pest-Management Career Seal Out Scorpions is both a licensed pest-management company and licensed contractor specializing in the relationship between buildings, pest pressure and the physical barriers that separate the two. We are a Gold Star Contractor with Building Performance Institute and two Certified Building Analysts with BPI lead the team. Our Building Performance work incorporates principles from building science, Integrated Pest Management, weatherization and decades of field experience with Arizona homes. We believe the physical barrier of a home should be stronger than the pest pressure challenging it. That takes more than filling visible holes. It takes knowledge. It takes standards. And ultimately, it takes skilled people who care about the work. Before You Apply Take a few minutes to research Seal Out Scorpions and read what our clients say about our work.
