  • Communicate delays and risks to PM, support weekly safety meetings, and uphold SA's culture of safety and humility

  • 5+ years solar, electrical, or construction field experience, including 2+ years leading crews

  • Daily travel to job sites (occasional overnight); office, warehouse, rooftop, and active construction environments
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
