What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten insulation workers, mechanical wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 02
Apply, remove, and repair insulation on industrial equipment, pipes, ductwork, or other mechanical systems such as heat exchangers, tanks, and vessels, to help control noise and maintain temperatures.
Duty 03
Select appropriate insulation, such as fiberglass, Styrofoam, or cork, based on the heat retaining or excluding characteristics of the material.
Duty 04
Fit insulation around obstructions, and shape insulating materials and protective coverings as required.
