Evaluate electrical infrastructure including service panels, distribution equipment, and potential points of interconnection
Capture detailed photos, measurements, and notes to support engineering and design
Engage with facility managers and building owners professionally to gather information and coordinate access
Lead internal post-site assessment meetings to communicate findings and guide design decisions
Ensure all data is accurate, complete, and documented properly to avoid rework
What We’re Looking For
Experience in commercial solar, electrical, construction, or a related field
Strong understanding of electrical systems (panels, services, interconnection concepts)
Comfortable working at heights and accessing rooftops safely
Ability to navigate tight or confined spaces (attics, mechanical rooms, etc.) when needed
Strong attention to detail — ability to capture everything correctly the first time
Excellent communication skills — able to interact with both technical teams and non-technical facility staff
Team-oriented mindset — understands their role impacts the success of the entire project
