  • Assign work, track progress, and keep jobs on schedule
  • Perform operations and maintenance (O&M) on utility-scale solar plants
  • Inspect completed work and ensure it meets quality and safety standards
  • Enforce safety requirements (OSHA, NFPA 70E) on-site
  • Diagnose system issues and resolve them in the field
  • Complete work orders, service logs, and required documentation
  • Operate and maintain company vehicle and tools
  • Train and support junior technicians in the field

Core Experience (Utility-Scale Required)

  • 3+ years of utility-scale solar experience (solar farms / ground-mount systems)
  • Experience leading crews or acting as lead tech on-site
  • Experience working on megawatt-scale PV systems (NOT residential rooftop solar)
  • Strong electrical troubleshooting and repair skills (inverters, DC systems, power electronics)
  • Experience with solar O&M / maintenance work
  • Working knowledge of OSHA / NFPA 70E safety standards
  • Experience using multimeters, meggers, amp clamps, and testing equipment
  • Basic computer skills (Microsoft Office)

Physical / Work Environment

  • Lift and move equipment up to 50 lbs
  • 100% travel role (frequent travel to solar farm sites)
  • Work outdoors in all weather conditions (heat, cold, wind, dust)
  • Must follow all OSHA and company safety requirements
