Our team is driven by innovation, integrity, and a shared commitment to sustainability.

Whether your expertise lies in engineering, sales, customer service, or operations, you’ll find a collaborative environment that values growth, teamwork, and meaningful impact.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing, planning, and assisting in the execution of solar projects while ensuring compliance with technical, regulatory, and safety standards.

  • Apply strong organizational skills to manage multiple priorities and respond to unplanned or urgent requests.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Design, or a related discipline (preferred).
  • 1–3 years of experience in commercial or industrial solar projects.
