Full Time Community Solar Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Salary: $75,000 – $100,000 annually, depending on experience, plus performance-based bonuses (estimated minimum of $20,000 annually)

About the Role

EM Energy Services is a quickly growing renewable and alternative energy company looking for an experienced, licensed electrician to lead field execution across our solar PV, battery energy storage (BESS), EV charging, and LED retrofit project portfolio. This role reports to the Director of Construction and is based out of Leawood, KS, with continual travel required (75–80% of the time) to project sites across the central United States — roughly spanning from Colorado to Tennessee and North Dakota to Texas. Extended stays away from home should be expected.

This is a pivotal role in helping establish the policies and procedures that will guide our construction crews going forward. You'll oversee projects ranging from small commercial installations to large commercial/industrial and community solar/small utility-scale projects, supervising a mix of internal crews and temporary labor to ensure work is delivered safely, on schedule, and to code. As a foundational member of our construction operations, you'll have the opportunity to directly shape how our field teams operate — and as the company grows, there is significant room for advancement for someone who excels in this ground-floor role.
