Job description

About Us
 
Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S.
 
Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.
 
Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.
 
We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.
 
If you’re looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment — and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. — we’d love to meet you.

  • Collaborate with internal teams to support commissioning and ensure new solar installations meet quality standards.
  • Maintain accurate service records, documenting maintenance, repairs, and system performance data.
  • Adhere to all company safety procedures and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain tools, testing equipment, and work vehicle in good working order.
  • Senior-level technicians (Tier 3–4) will lead troubleshooting efforts, provide advanced diagnostics, and mentor junior team members.
Qualifications
All Levels:
  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical or trade certification in electrical, mechanical, or renewable energy fields a plus.
  • Mechanical aptitude and familiarity with electrical systems.
  • Competent with hand and power tools; comfortable using multimeters and insulation resistance meters (IV Curve tracer preferred).
  • Able to work safely at heights and outdoors in various weather conditions.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
Tier 1–2 Technicians:
  • 1+ years of experience in solar, electrical, or related technical fields.
