Senior Superintendent - Solar
Tapio
The Company
Our client is a rapidly growing renewable energy EPC specializing in commercial & industrial rooftop solar and community solar projects throughout Illinois. With a strong pipeline of distributed generation projects and an integrated engineering and construction platform, the company has built a reputation for high-quality execution, safety, and long-term customer relationships across the Midwest.
Known for its field-first culture and self-perform construction capabilities, the organization is continuing to expand alongside the rapid growth of the Illinois solar market.
The Role
The Senior Superintendent will lead field execution across multiple commercial rooftop and community solar projects throughout the Chicagoland region and surrounding Illinois markets. This individual will oversee daily site operations, subcontractor coordination, schedule performance, safety, and quality from mobilization through commissioning and turnover.
Unlike national travel superintendent roles, this position is regionally focused, with projects generally located within driving distance of the Chicago area rather than requiring rotational travel schedules.
This is an opportunity to join a growing solar platform at a key stage of expansion while helping deliver impactful renewable energy infrastructure across one of the country’s most active community solar markets.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead field execution for C&I rooftop and community solar projects
- Manage subcontractors, field crews, and day-to-day site operations
- Drive schedule, safety, quality, and production performance
- Coordinate with project management, engineering, and commissioning teams
- Conduct site walks, safety meetings, and quality inspections
- Support AHJ inspections, utility coordination, and project closeout
- Mentor junior field personnel and help maintain a strong jobsite culture
Qualifications
- 7+ years of superintendent or field leadership experience within solar, electrical, or industrial construction
- Experience delivering C&I rooftop solar and/or community solar projects
- Strong understanding of solar construction sequencing, NEC, and OSHA standards
- Ability to read construction drawings and manage multiple active projects
- OSHA 30 required; NABCEP preferred
- Ability to travel locally throughout Illinois as project needs require
