WHO WE ARE

We are an established solar installation company serving Central Virginia — residential and commercial solar PV systems ranging from small rooftop arrays to large-scale commercial installations for farms, businesses, and institutional clients. We have been in business for over a decade, are consistently profitable, and are growing.

Our team includes DC installation crews, AC electricians, and an operations office. We are a company where skilled tradespeople are treated professionally, compensated fairly, and given the tools and support they need to do quality work. We take pride in clean installations, strong client relationships, and a crew that shows up and performs.

We are adding a licensed Master Electrician to our team — someone who takes their craft seriously and wants to be a key contributor at a stable, growing company in one of the fastest-expanding trades in the country.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is not a helper role. This is a lead electrician position.

You will serve as the senior electrical authority on every job we run —

a role that carries real responsibility and is compensated accordingly.

You will lead all AC installation and commissioning, ensure code compliance across all electrical work, manage the permit process, own the inspection relationship with local AHJs, and help us run the most professional solar crew in Central Virginia.

You will work alongside our installation crews and report directly to senior management. Your work is visible, your contribution is measurable, and your professional reputation matters here.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Lead all AC electrical installation on residential and commercial solar PV jobs

• Install and commission inverters — Enphase, SolarEdge, Solectria, Sol-Ark, and others

• Install battery storage systems including AC coupling, DC coupling, and load management

• Perform main panel upgrades, sub-panel work, and service upgrades as required

• Pull all required electrical permits and serve as license holder of record

• Pass AHJ inspections — own the inspection relationship with local building departments

• Review single-line diagrams and as-builts for accuracy and code compliance

• Supervise and mentor journeyman electricians and AC helpers on the crew

• Ensure all work meets NEC, Virginia state code, and manufacturer requirements

• Participate in weekly job planning and crew coordination

• Maintain a clean, organized, fully-stocked service vehicle at all times

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Required:

• Active Virginia Master Electrician License — non-negotiable

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on electrical installation experience

• Demonstrable experience with solar PV systems, inverters, or battery storage

• Strong NEC knowledge and comfort working with AHJs across multiple jurisdictions

• Valid Virginia driver's license with clean driving record

• Ability to work on rooftops and at heights — comfort with ladders and pitched surfaces

• Physically able to lift 50+ lbs and work outdoors in all weather conditions

Strongly Preferred:

• Solar PV installation experience — residential and/or commercial

• Experience commissioning Enphase, SolarEdge, Solectria, Sol-Ark, or Franklin battery systems

• OSHA 10 or OSHA 30 certification

• Experience with Virginia utility interconnection applications

• NABCEP certification or willingness to pursue

Who You Are:

• A professional who takes code compliance seriously and doesn't cut corners

• Someone who takes pride in clean, inspectable work — not just work that passes

• A communicator who can talk to inspectors, clients, and crew members with equal confidence

• Self-directed — you don't need someone managing your every move on a job site

• Reliable — you show up, you're prepared, and your crew can count on you
