Job description

Ready to use your electrical ticket on work that feels different?

Paradigm Solar is hiring a Journeyperson Electrician for solar PV and battery energy storage projects in the BC. This is hands‑on, project‑based electrical work with a growing team focused on quality installations, practical renewable energy, and safe jobsite execution.

You will work with solar arrays, inverters, wiring, grounding, battery systems, and related electrical components while helping deliver clean energy solutions across B.C.
