Message from the General Manager "I am looking for the guy who is currently doing this job. I want the guy who is has the product training and certifications already. They are the ones on the jobsite who are commissioning the system, taking the pictures for financing, doing the layout on the roof, running conduit, digging trenches. They know what they are doing and they do it well. Enphase 5p/10c, Tesla PW3, and Generac Generator installation and commissioning experience is required for consideration. Something like 20 installs minimum across those systems. The perfect candidate could show up first day be handed a set plans and go knock the job that day. If they can submit their training certificates for things like Enphase, Tesla, and Generac that would be a massive plus for their chances. Any HVAC experience and or a CLD is a huge plus too."
