We're a Class A licensed solar and electrical contractor based in the Shenandoah Valley serving the Waynesboro, Staunton, Harrisonburg, and Charlottesville areas.

We're a small, growing crew led by a licensed Master Electrician with deep expertise in both traditional electrical and solar energy systems.

- Support solar PV installations (wiring, inverter connections, rapid shutdown, interconnection)
- Read and interpret blueprints, single-line diagrams, and plan sets
- Pull permits and coordinate inspections with local AHJs
- Maintain clean, professional job sites and document work using Company Cam
- Communicate directly with homeowners and GCs on active projects
What We're Looking For
- Virginia Journeyman Electrician license (DPOR) preferred — strong apprentices (3rd/4th year) also encouraged to apply
- Solid understanding of the NEC and residential electrical systems
- Valid driver's license with a clean record
- Ability to work on roofs, in attics, crawlspaces, and outdoors in all seasons
- Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently or alongside our team

What We Offer
- Competitive hourly pay ($28–$42/hr for journeymen, DOE)
- Hands-on training in solar PV, battery storage (Franklin, Sol-Ark, Solar Edge), and EV charger installation — skills that are the future of this trade
- Work directly under a Master Electrician who will invest in your growth
- Variety of project types — no two days are the same
- Small company culture: your voice matters, your work is noticed, and there's real room to grow into a lead or foreman role
