About this position

Service Technician - For Technicians Who Get Things Done You're not looking for a desk job - you want a problem in front of you and the freedom to figure it out. You're confident working independently, stay calm when the pressure is on, and cut through the fluff to find the answer. You like variety, tangible problems, and work that keeps you moving. You're self-motivated, analytical, and quick to act. Most importantly, you want to be trusted, respected, and known as the person who gets the job done right. Every day brings a different problem to solve. You might start on a residential roof removing and reinstalling panels, then head to a commercial site to run a robotic panel cleaner or troubleshoot a system that’s down. You'll swap microinverters, test equipment, dig into system data, and track down root causes-not just symptoms. You'll work independently, manage multiple priorities, and make decisions when the pressure is on. Some days are structured; others are chaos. That's where you shine. You're hands-on, analytical, safety-minded, and action-oriented, with the confidence to find the answer, communicate it clearly, document your work, and get the job done right.
