  • Coordinate daily field activities to ensure aggressive project schedules and milestones are achieved.
  • Maintain accurate documentation of daily field reports, jobsite inspections, hazard analyses, and toolbox talks.
  • Receive, inventory, and organize project materials and equipment on-site to prevent workflow delays.
  • Communicate clear project updates, safety concerns, and operational needs directly with project leadership.
  • Safety, Compliance & Mentorship
  • Maintain absolute adherence to OSHA, NFPA 70E, Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), and company safety protocols.
  • Conduct strict inspections to verify proper system functionality, NEC code compliance, and industry best practices.
  • Provide dedicated guidance, training, and mentorship to apprentices and junior electricians in the field.

Required Qualifications & Experience:

  • Minimum of 3 years of commercial electrical experience.
  • Active Maryland Journeyman Electrician License (Required)
  • Candidates must currently hold a Maryland Journeyman Electrician License. Licenses issued by other states will not qualify for this position.
  • Strong, functional knowledge of commercial electrical systems and NEC code requirements.
  • Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, and specialized electrical testing equipment.
  • Ability to work independently as an autonomous field leader with strong problem-solving abilities.
  • Authorized to work in the United States with reliable transportation.
  • Physical resilience, including the ability to lift up to 50 lbs, work at heights (rooftops, ladders, lifts), and work outdoors in varying weather conditions.
  • Absolute willingness to travel within a 150-mile radius of Richmond, VA.

Preferred Qualifications & Experience:

  • Previous solar installation experience, including commissioning and troubleshooting PV systems.
  • Heavy equipment operation certifications.
  • Demonstrated experience leading commercial electrical field crews.
  • Familiarity with Google Workspace and construction management software platforms.

Compensation & Benefits:
