  • Troubleshoot solar PV, inverter, battery, backup, and service-related electrical issues
  • Help maintain quality control standards across multiple projects
  • Train, coach, and support installation crews on proper electrical practices
  • Communicate professionally with inspectors, project managers, homeowners, and internal team members
  • Identify field issues early and help create practical solutions
  • Maintain a strong focus on safety, workmanship, and customer experience

Preferred Experience
  • NABCEP certification is a strong plus
  • Experience with SolarEdge, Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, FranklinWH, or other battery/inverter platforms
  • Experience with residential service upgrades, load centers, meter/main equipment, transfer equipment, and backup circuits
  • Experience working directly with inspectors and AHJs
  • Experience training or leading field crews
  • Commercial solar or battery experience is a plus

What We Offer
  • Competitive pay based on experience
  • Full-time, stable employment with one of New Mexico's leading solar and home energy companies
  • Opportunity to work on solar PV, battery storage, backup power, roofing, electrical, and whole-home energy projects
  • Career growth opportunities as the company expands
