InsulatorBy: Bryce Melnyk

Introduction Insulators put insulation in all of the exterior walls to keep heat in

during winter and out during summer. So if someone is building a house and they don’t want the outside

air to come in they would call an insulator.

The reason I picked insulator was it pays decent, you get to work with machines and your hands, and your outside to me. Those things are all important to me because I like to be active

What is and insulator?

Insulators prepare, apply, and repair different kinds of insulation to control the movement of heat and sound through walls and other structures.

By installing insulation, insulators help people save money and conserve energy.

Where insulators work Most insulators work in the construction industry for

building finishing contractors. Insulators often work in cramped indoor spaces, or

sometimes in exposed outdoor ones. Insulators often work on their feet all day and sometimes

on ladders and scaffolding so you cant be afraid of heights. In some situations insulators can face harmful of toxic

materials which may shorten their life by a couple years.

Training and qualifications There are no formal education requirements for this

job, but a high school education is recommended Most insulators learn from hands-on, on the job

training. Formal apprenticeships are available and

recommended by most employers.

Job outlook Employment of insulation workers is expected

to grow 28 percent from 2010 to 2020. This is faster than the average for all

occupations. Mechanical insulators will have excellent job

opportunities.

$$Earnings$$

Technology usesAs an insulator you will use technology in

a few ways. You will use computers to schedule appointments, email

your co-workers, and finding the right way to get the job done.

You will also use cell phones a lot to stay in touch with your boss, the person who your doing the job for, and an easy ways to communicate with others.

SummaryAfter learning more about this job is still is appealing to me. I think this would be a good job for me because it gives me the opportunity to met new people and learn new skills. Also, if I stay with the same company for a long time I could make a lot of money. This job also gives you the choice of creating your own business. So in conclusion I would like to be an insulator but I still would like to explore my other choices since I’m still young.
