    Buffalo Solar Solutions, Inc. – Western NY / Northeast Travel

    About the Role

    Buffalo Solar is seeking a Commercial Solar Site Assessor to support the development of rooftop solar projects across the Northeast. This role is critical to ensuring accurate system design, pricing, and execution by capturing detailed site information the first time.

    You will work directly with our engineering, sales, and project teams while engaging with facility managers and property owners on-site. What You’ll Do

    Conduct on-site assessments of commercial and industrial properties for rooftop solar feasibility

    Safely access rooftops (primarily flat roofs) to take measurements, evaluate conditions, and document layout constraints

    Utilize drone technology, where appropriate, to capture aerial imagery and site data to support design and analysis

    Assess structural elements including roof type, decking visibility, and general building conditions

    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

    Willingness to travel to project sites across the Northeast if needed
