Are you part tech wizard, part outdoor adventurer, and 100% into making the world a greener place? Then we’ve got the job for you.


🔧 What You’ll Do:

  • Visit job sites and determine if they’re solar-worthy (you’ll check out rooftops, attic structures, shading, and more).

🧰 Your Toolkit:

  • People skills – you’ll be chatting with customers and working closely with our teams.
  • Sharp problem-solving abilities – if something’s not working, you’ll help figure it out.
  • Math chops – measuring roofs, calculating angles, and evaluating electrical needs.
  • Knowledge of OSHA safety practices.
  • A love for learning – we work with the latest tech and want you to grow with us!

🎓 Your Credentials:

  • High School Diploma or GED.
  • A valid driver’s license and willingness to travel locally.

  • Willingness to work outdoors and on rooftops in all weather conditions.

💡 Why You’ll Love Working With Us:

  • You’ll be helping build a cleaner, brighter future.
  • You’ll work with a fun, passionate team who’s serious about making a difference.
  • You won’t be stuck at a desk all day — this is an active, hands-on job with plenty of variety.
