• Lead commercial and industrial solar installations
  
• Ensure all work complies with NEC and OSHA standards
  
• Read and interpret blueprints, schematics, and construction drawings
  
• Train and mentor crew members to meet AEPS Electric’s standards
  
• Coordinate with the Project Manager to keep projects safe, efficient, and on schedule

What We’re Looking For

• Commercial / Industrial electrical experience required

• Proven leadership and communication skills
  
• Comfortable working at heights and on rooftops
  
• Proficient with electrical hand and power tools
  
• Valid driver’s license and clean background required
  
• A leader who isn’t afraid to work alongside their crew
  

Schedule

• Crews help choose start times based on daylight and season
  
  • Summer: as early as 6:30 AM
    
  • Winter: as late as 8:00 AM
    
• Typically 8-hour workdays, though hours may vary by project
  
• Overtime, nights, and weekends as needed
  

Pay & Benefits

• $35/hour, negotiable based on experience
  
• 401(k) with 4% company match
  
• Health insurance (40% paid by employer)
  
• Paid Time Off (PTO)
  
• Company-provided phone, shirts, sweatshirts
  
• Hard hats, safety glasses, and required PPE provided
