• Properly weather-seal mounting, connections, and structures to prevent water intrusion
• Attend training on new processes, products, and safety practices

What you bring

• High-school education or equivalent
• Previous solar or construction experience preferred, but not required
• A safety advocate who encourages safe work, sets the standard, and reports violations
• Proven ability to deliver stable, consistent, predictable results
• Able to stay focused and good-humored in a fast-paced, changing environment
• Able to lift 50 lbs frequently (up to 100 lbs with assistance) and work on rooftops of varying pitch in all weather conditions
