Solar Landscape

Job Description

Job Description

About Us

 

Solar Landscape is the leading commercial rooftop solar developer in the U.S. Only 4% of commercial rooftops host solar today — we’re changing that, fast. Commercial rooftop solar is the fastest, smartest way to build new clean power — delivering megawatts of generation in months, not years, and powering America’s energy and future right where it’s needed most. By turning rooftops into local power plants, we’re reshaping how — and how fast — energy gets built in the U.S.

Recognized as the #1 Distributed Generation Developer by New Project Media, the #1 National Commercial Rooftop Solar Developer by Solar Power World, and winner of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Grand Prize for Clean Energy, Solar Landscape is defining the future of energy generation in America.

Headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Solar Landscape has offices in Chicago, Baltimore, and New York City and operates in over a dozen states nationwide.

We move fast, solve hard problems, and take our work seriously — but never ourselves. We value clear thinking, accountability, and execution. At the same time, we’re collaborative by default, and believe the best work happens when people enjoy working together. Our team is made up of smart, grounded people who show up for each other — whether that’s troubleshooting a system design or catching up over lunch.

If you’re looking to do meaningful work in a high-performance environment — and be part of the team reshaping how energy gets built in the U.S. — we’d love to meet you.

About The Role

We are seeking O&M Technicians at multiple experience levels (Tier 1–4) to join our growing Operations & Management (O&M) team. These roles are critical to ensuring the reliable performance, safety, and efficiency of our commercial solar energy systems.

Whether you’re newer to the field or bring extensive solar experience, you’ll play an important role in maintaining, troubleshooting, and optimizing solar system performance while working in a collaborative, safety-focused environment.

Responsibilities
  • Perform inspections, maintenance, and repairs on solar panels, inverters, and related electrical and mechanical systems.
  • Identify and troubleshoot performance issues, electrical faults, or component failures to ensure maximum uptime.
  • Capture and review thermal imaging during system and property inspections.
  • Monitor system performance data and assist with performance optimization and corrective maintenance activities.
  • Collaborate with internal teams to support commissioning and ensure new solar installations meet quality standards.
  • Maintain accurate service records, documenting maintenance, repairs, and system performance data.
  • Adhere to all company safety procedures and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain tools, testing equipment, and work vehicle in good working order.
  • Senior-level technicians (Tier 3–4) will lead troubleshooting efforts, provide advanced diagnostics, and mentor junior team members.
Qualifications
  • All Levels:
  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical or trade certification in electrical, mechanical, or renewable energy fields a plus.
  • Mechanical aptitude and familiarity with electrical systems.
  • Competent with hand and power tools; comfortable using multimeters and insulation resistance meters (IV Curve tracer preferred).
  • Able to work safely at heights and outdoors in various weather conditions.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
  • Tier 1–2 Technicians:
  • 1+ years of experience in solar, electrical, or related technical fields.
  • Basic understanding of PV systems and electrical safety.
  • Willingness to learn through training and mentorship.
  • Tier 3–4 Technicians:
  • 4+ years of experience in solar O&M, electrical, or related fields.
  • Proven ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues.
  • Experience commissioning systems and leading field teams.
  • Preferred certifications: OSHA 30, NFPA 70E, NABCEP, NETA.

Salary will vary depending on your location and job-related skills and experience. This is an incentive-based position with the potential to earn more. For part-time roles, your compensation will be adjusted to reflect your hours.

Benefits and Perks

 

We offer competitive compensation and benefits designed to support you inside and outside of work:

 

·       Training / Professional development opportunities

·       401(k) with 4% company match

·       Summer Fridays

·       Flexible remote/hybrid work options

·       Paid parental leave

·       Team lunches, events, and stocked kitchens

·       Modern, collaborative office spaces in Asbury Park, New York City, Boston, Chicago, and Baltimore

·       Medical, dental, and vision coverage

·       Company-paid life and long-term disability insurance

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.
