Freedom Power•Austin, TX

About The Position

Coach Safety, Build Trust. Some safety programs run on fear. Ours runs on trust. If you'd rather earn a crew's respect than hand out write-ups, keep reading. Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas and Florida's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day. As our Regional Safety & Training Coordinator, you're the road warrior who keeps every office, every jobsite, and every crew running safely — from residential rooftops to commercial installs. You'll set the standard by showing up, not by cracking down: leading JSAs and safety meetings, coaching crews through real conversations, and making sure the right equipment, training, and habits are in place before something goes wrong, not after.
