Commercial solar installers are professionals who design, install, and maintain solar energy systems for businesses, schools, factories, and other non-residential buildings. They assess energy needs, recommend appropriate solar technology, and ensure that the installation meets safety codes and regulations. These specialists may also help clients understand available incentives and financing options, and provide ongoing system maintenance and monitoring. Their work helps organizations reduce energy costs and carbon footprints by harnessing renewable solar power.

Familiarity with solar design software, PV simulation tools, and project management systems is often required. Excellent problem-solving abilities, customer communication skills, and teamwork are vital soft skills in this role. These competencies ensure safe, efficient solar installations, client satisfaction, and successful project delivery in a fast-evolving industry.

Professionals in commercial solar project management often encounter challenges such as coordinating with multiple stakeholders, managing complex permitting and regulatory requirements, and ensuring projects stay on schedule and within budget. Navigating supply chain delays and addressing unforeseen site conditions can also require creative problem-solving. Building strong communication skills and adaptability is key, as collaboration with engineers, installers, clients, and local authorities is essential for project success.

Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Renu Commercial is seeking a qualified AutoCAD Drafter to support its commercial solar design and interconnection department, preparing and revising working drawings, array layouts, and installation diagrams for three-phase commercial photovoltaic projects under the review and approval of the Director of Commercial Design and Interconnection.
Key Responsibilities
  • Prepare and revise AutoCAD working drawings, including array layouts and installation diagrams, for use as field instructions by the installation team.
  • Produce site plans, roof plans, electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, construction details, and elevations for three-phase commercial PV projects.
  • Compile structural attachment and layout data for submission to the structural engineer of record to support timely sign-off ahead of permitting.
  • Interpret input from sales, operations, and field personnel to progress drawing sets independently, flagging information gaps as needed.
  • Maintain consistent drafting standards (title blocks, layer conventions, standard details, symbol libraries) across all drawing sets.
  • Communicate drawing status and revisions clearly to operations and field personnel, and submit all sets for review and approval before release for permitting or installation.
  • Perform additional design or operations duties as assigned.

Requirements
  • Associate's degree, technical certificate, or equivalent experience in drafting/CAD; demonstrated AutoCAD proficiency required.
  • Experience with three-phase commercial electrical systems strongly preferred.
  • Solar PV industry experience preferred but not required; strong CAD fundamentals and willingness to learn solar-specific conventions (NEC single-lines, racking/attachment details, interconnection drawings) will be considered.
  • Strong attention to detail, ability to manage multiple deadlines with moderate independent judgment, and excellent written and verbal communication skills.
