About The Position

Beitzel Corporation is seeking a Mechanical Solar Foreman to lead field teams in the installation of utility-scale, ground-mount solar systems (1–25 MWDC) and to support a wide range of industrial, mechanical, and construction projects.

This role calls for someone with strong mechanical knowledge, a proactive mindset, and the ability to support and oversee projects from the ground up. In addition to solar, you’ll work on diverse industrial and mechanical construction jobs, so adaptability and a solid base in construction fundamentals are key.
