About The Position

Sunrun is recruiting licensed, certified electricians from Arizona, Nevada, and across the region to relocate to the Chicago market. The role supports residential solar and battery installations as the area builds out its clean energy grid.

The electrician leads electrical work that connects residential solar arrays to the grid, completes battery installations and main panel upgrades, troubleshoots electrical problems, and coordinates with branch teams, homeowners, and local inspectors. The role requires daily driving between customer homes in a company vehicle, carrying installation equipment, and 5% travel. Work includes indoor and outdoor environments, rooftops and other elevated areas, confined spaces, and varying weather conditions.

The starting salary/wage is $31.94 to $53.24. The advertised $3,000 sign-on bonus is paid in two installments: 50% at 90 days and 50% at 180 days of employment. Relocation disbursements are subject to a 12-month repayment agreement if employment ends voluntarily or for cause within the first year, to the extent permitted by law. Eligibility for relocation assistance and sign-on bonuses depends on candidate location, qualifying target roles, and pilot program availability.
