We’re unlike any other residential energy company. Our vertically integrated model gives us total control over every part of the energy lifecycle – from sale through installation and beyond – so you can find endless opportunities for growth. Come join a career you can grow in and a culture you can run with.

We train you to work across different teams—from qualifying homes for solar, to installing, to inspecting the final work, and servicing existing systems. This versatility helps limit reduced hours and enhances job security in an industry affected by seasons. It also means you can solve customer problems in one visit, keeping you safely off the road and moving your career forward.

Overview

The Certified Hybrid Field Technician supports both the beginning and end of the residential solar installation pipeline by performing site assessments prior to installation, inspections post-install, and other lone worker and team field work as needed for the business.

You’ll follow dynamic, intraday schedules and work across a variety of job sites, helping ensure each system meets both internal standards and local code requirements. This is a fast-paced, field role ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, problem-solving, customer interaction, and making a daily impact on operational flow.

  • Submit all survey data in a timely, complete, and accurate manner using mobile field tools.

  • Perform post-installation inspection visits to ensure project readiness for final AHJ inspection or utility approval.

  • Confirm installed systems match approved plans and meet workmanship, code, and safety standards.

  • Collaborate with install teams and project managers to resolve inspection-related issues as needed.

  • Provide documentation (photos, checklist, notes) verifying inspection readiness

  • Discuss system installations with the AHJ and customers

  • Review completed installations for determination of readiness for inspection

  • Work with the AHJ and Customer to schedule inspections

  • Schedule Execution & Field Readiness

  • Follow daily, intraday schedules that may include both survey and inspection jobs across different locations, while also proactively scheduling work for yourself.

  • Communicate clearly with internal teams when facing access issues, delays, or discrepancies.

  • Maintain assigned tools and safety equipment in proper working condition.

  • Represent the company professionally during all customer-facing interactions.

Additional Expectations

  • Flexibility in working occasional weekends, extended shifts or holidays may be required based on market demand or customer scheduling needs.

  • Participation in safety briefings, trainings, or field team huddles.

  • Drive company-provided or approved vehicle between job sites throughout the workday.

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or GED required.

  • Must hold a valid state-recognized Electrical Certification at the Journeyman, Wireman, or higher level, and be in good standing.

  • Previous PV design, PV installation or PV electrical experience (such as reading blueprints or plans, using tools and equipment, testing wiring or circuitry, National Electric Code knowledge, basic electrical theory knowledge, etc.) is helpful with a minimum of one year of field construction experience preferred

  • Comfortable working on roofs, using ladders, and working in tight or elevated spaces.

  • Familiarity with basic hand tools, measuring devices, and mobile technology.

  • Excellent attention to detail and ability to follow standardized procedures.

  • OSHA 10 or 30 certification preferred.

  • Must be 21 years of age, possess a valid driver’s license and maintain a clean driving record with the ability to pass a driving background check
