  • Support preventative and corrective maintenance on inverter systems
  • Work closely with monitoring/SCADA teams to resolve system alerts
  • Ensure all work meets OEM specifications and safety standards
  • Complete detailed service reports, logs, and documentation
  • Maintain and operate company tools, test equipment, and vehicle
  • Assist in training junior technicians on inverter diagnostics and repair
Core Experience (Utility-Scale Required)
  • 3‑4+ years of hands‑on experience with utility‑scale solar inverters
  • Direct experience working with GE, Sungrow, and Power Electronics inverters
  • Experience on megawatt‑scale solar sites (ground‑mount / solar farms)
  • Strong understanding of DC/AC power conversion, power electronics troubleshooting, and inverter fault codes and diagnostics
  • Experience performing solar maintenance with a focus on inverter systems
  • Familiarity with SCADA systems and inverter communications (preferred)
  • Working knowledge of OSHA / NFPA 70E safety standards
  • Experience using multimeters, meggers, amp clamps, and testing equipment
  • Basic computer skills (Microsoft Office)
Physical / Work Environment
  • Lift and move equipment up to 50 lbs
  • 100% travel role (frequent travel to solar farm sites)
  • Work outdoors in all weather conditions (heat, cold, wind, dust)
  • Must follow all OSHA and company safety requirements
Compensation

$28.00‑$40.00+ hourly DOE (hourly)

Benefits
  • Full‑time employees eligible for comprehensive benefits including health, life, 401(k) match, paid time off, tuition reimbursement, and professional development courses.
  • Performance and referral bonuses, production incentives, tool/equipment and fuel stipends, company vehicle, per diem or other applicable compensation.
