Description

About You: You’re the kind of person who knows what a megger test is and how to read it. You’ve turned a wrench, traced a ground fault in the field, and you don’t need a refresher on torque settings — you’ve lived them. Maybe you’ve been a journeyman or a lead tech and now you're managing contractors, budgets, and production targets. You’re comfortable walking a site, reviewing a PM report, and knowing instantly if it’s nonsense or solid. You’ve dealt with gruff subcontractors but know how to keep the tone professional and get the job done. You write clean, professional emails. You can hop into Excel, Outlook, or Word with no drama. You’re responsive, friendly, and respectful — especially to the tenants and stakeholders onsite. You don’t ghost people. You keep your promises. You care. Most importantly, you're motivated. You want to be on a team that works hard, sets a high bar, and supports each other. You’re looking for a role where you own a large portfolio of solar sites, and your work actually moves the needle.
