This is an immediate, part-time role to be performed on project sites across eastern PA, northern PA, and central NY.

The Solar Commissioning Technician will perform start-up, testing, and commissioning of commercial and industrial solar pv systems ensuring they operate safely and according to design specifications.

Responsibilities include conducting functional and performance tests, verifying wiring and system configurations, checking inverters and monitoring equipment, and documenting commissioning activities.

The role may also involve diagnosing and troubleshooting system issues, coordinating with project managers, engineers, and installation crews, and supporting punch‑list completion prior to project handover. The technician will maintain accurate records, prepare commissioning reports, follow safety protocols, and occasionally support maintenance, inspections, and remote system monitoring.
