WORK ARRANGEMENT: ON-SITE, FIELD-BASED. THIS IS NOT A REMOTE OR WORK-FROM-HOME JOB.
This role is performed in person, outdoors, on solar sites in and around Roseville, Minnesota. You’ll drive from your home to job sites rather than reporting to an office — but you must live in the Roseville region, or relocate there before your start date.
You may see this listed as "field-based." That means you drive from your home to job sites rather than reporting to an office each morning. It does not mean you can work from another city or state. Applications from candidates who are not located in — or actively relocating to — the Roseville area cannot be considered for this posting.
MASTER ELECTRICIANS: NO PRIOR SOLAR EXPERIENCE REQUIRED. WE WILL TRAIN YOU.
Energy Support Services keeps solar and energy storage systems safe, reliable, and producing clean power. As a Lead Field Service Technician III- Solar, you’ll be the technical authority in the field — leading complex inspections, troubleshooting, and repairs, owning your sites, shaping how the work gets done, and mentoring the technicians coming up behind you. There’s a defined pathway to Technician IV.
The license and the electrical judgment are what we can’t teach quickly. Photovoltaics we can. If you hold an active Minnesota Master Electrician license, we will consider you fully with zero solar background.
Relocation note : We offer a $3,000 sign-on bonus and relocation assistance to qualified candidates. If you’re a licensed Master Electrician somewhere else in the country and you’ve been curious about renewable energy, this is the posting to look at.
COMING FROM ANOTHER SIDE OF THE ELECTRICAL TRADE?
This role requires a Master Electrician license because Minnesota law requires it for the electrical work involved. It does not require a solar background. Master Electricians join us from:
- Commercial and industrial electrical contracting — service work, troubleshooting, code compliance, and permitting. Nearly everything transfers; you’ll learn PV-specific equipment and DC systems.
- Utility, generation, or substation work — medium-voltage practice, switching, and grounding discipline map directly onto solar plant work.
- Facilities, manufacturing, or plant electrical leadership — PM programs, LOTO systems, and crew oversight are the same skills we need here.
- Marine, military, or shipyard electrical — strong safety culture and independent judgment in the field, which is what this job runs on.
What you’ll learn on our dime
- PV system architecture — modules, strings, combiner boxes, inverters, and grid-tie behavior.
