Are you an Electrician, Solar Electrician, or Journeyman Electrician looking for a stable, long-term role where you can maximize your earnings through consistent overtime while working with a well-established solar contractor? Do you want a company that will support you in gaining your Journeyman license (if you don't already have it) and set you up with steady work across Illinois?

This is a permanent position with an established solar PV business that designs, engineers, permits, installs, and commissions systems across the Midwest.

In this role you will install solar panels, pull and terminate wiring, and complete electrical installation work on residential projects across Illinois, working 7:00 AM to 6:00/6:30 PM with overtime built into the week.

This role would suit an electrician with hands-on installation experience who wants a secure position, strong earning potential, and support in achieving (or leveraging) a Journeyman license within the solar industry.

The Role:

  • Electrical installation and wiring on residential solar PV projects
  • Install solar panels and associated electrical components
  • Meet at the office then travel as a team to sites across Illinois
  • Permanent position with overtime (approx. 55 hours/week), 7:00 AM - 6:00/6:30 PM


The Person:

  • Electrician experience (installation / wiring), solar experience advantageous
