This is a hands‑on, field‑based position ideal for those who enjoy working outdoors, take pride in high‑quality workmanship, and want to contribute to a sustainable future. Looking for growth? This role is great for someone who wants to grow into a Lead Installer or other advanced technical roles.

What You’ll Do

• Install residential solar PV systems on rooftops and ground‑mounted structures following engineered plans, NEC requirements, and local AHJ standards.
• Lay out and mount racking systems, set modules, and assist with conduit and wiring installation to ensure clean, professional results.
• Read and execute installation plans, including roof layouts, array orientation, and equipment placement for optimal performance.
• Evaluate job sites for structural integrity, roof conditions, and safety considerations prior to and during installation.
• Work alongside fellow installers and site leads to troubleshoot install challenges and maintain high workmanship standards.
• Capture installation photos, site notes, and as‑built details to support inspections and project close‑out.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe job site that reflects pride in your work.
• Follow all safety protocols, including fall protection and ladder safety, while meeting daily production goals.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2+ years of hands‑on residential solar installation experience preferred (roofing or electrical experience also valued).
• Comfortable working on pitched roofs, using fall protection, ladders, and roof access equipment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude with experience using power tools, hand tools, and basic electrical testing equipment.
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs regularly and perform physical tasks including climbing, kneeling, bending, and standing for extended periods.
• Detail‑oriented with a strong focus on safety, quality, and clean installs.
• Reliable, punctual, and able to travel to job sites as needed.

• Emphasis on quality craftsmanship and safety
• Opportunity to grow into Lead Installer or advanced technical roles
