Service Technician
About The Position
The Service Technician is where great solar repair pros get their start. You'll work alongside our Service Electrician, learning the trade hands-on with a mentor by your side. No prior experience required. We'll support you on your path to electrical licensure. If you're early in your career and ready to learn a real trade, this could be the job for you. This is a full-time position based in Bellingham, WA. About the Role The Service Technician is the second person on every service visit. You'll ride along with a licensed Service Electrician to homes and businesses across northwest Washington, supporting every step of the visit while you learn the trade one job at a time. This isn't a desk job. You'll work on rooftops, in attics, and at panel boxes, through summer heat and winter rain. The work is physical and technical, and it matters: customers count on us to keep their solar systems running for decades. You don't need solar experience to apply. You need a willingness to learn and a real interest in becoming a trades professional. If you're the kind of person who likes figuring out how things work, and who finds satisfaction in chasing down a tricky wiring issue, you'll fit right in. The Service Electrician will be your primary mentor on the truck, and the Service Manager and wider service team will support your growth as you build hours and knowledge toward licensure.
