  • Perform multimeter testing to troubleshoot strings, connectors, and continuity issues
  • Support commissioning activities by verifying mechanical and electrical readiness
  • Identify, diagnose, and resolve installation issues in the field
  • Coordinate technical tasks with the Mechanical Foreman
  • Provide some direction and hands-on guidance to Solar PV Tech I and II personnel
  • Ensure torque, alignment, grounding, and fastening meet project standards
  • Maintain clean, safe, and organized work areas
  • Work safely around energized and non-energized electrical systems

Requirements
  • Extensive experience installing commercial or utility-scale solar arrays
  • Hands-on experience with solar racking systems and hardware
  • Proven experience with solar array stringing and connector installation
  • Experience using a multimeter for solar troubleshooting and verification
  • Familiarity with commissioning support activities and punch-list resolution
  • Strong understanding of mechanical-electrical interfaces in PV systems
  • Comfortable working at heights and in outdoor Arizona conditions
  • High proficiency with hand and power tools used in solar construction
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform sustained physical labor
  • Ability to read and interpret written instructions, layout drawings, and basic electrical documentation
  • Reliable attendance and punctuality

Benefits
  • Premium hourly pay based on experience and demonstrated technical expertise
  • Long-term employment with a stable, nationally recognized company
  • Clear advancement pathways into leadership and supervisory roles
  • Continued exposure to large-scale commercial and industrial solar projects
