- Operate hand tools, trenchers, and hydro‑vac equipment as needed.
- Maintain daily logs, material counts, and photo documentation of civil progress.
- Identify and resolve issues related to site conditions, alignment, trench routing, or conduit conflicts.
- Restore disturbed areas (grade, seed, and straw) per environmental or contractual requirements.
- Ensure crew adherence to OSHA and company safety practices, including PPE usage.
- Support solar installation tasks as needed (e.g., racking layout, grounding, labeling).
- 3+ years of civil construction or solar installation experience, with at least 1 year in a leadership role.
- Ability to read construction prints and interpret trenching/conduit plans.
- Strong understanding of underground conduit installation and concrete forming/finishing.
- OSHA 10 certification (required).
- High school diploma or equivalent.
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record.
- Must be able to lift 50+ lbs, work outdoors in varying weather, and operate basic construction tools.
- Preferred:
Experience working on commercial solar projects.
