About The Position

Rethink Electric maintains commercial, distributed-generation, and light-utility solar across Illinois and Wisconsin. The portfolio runs from warehouses, churches, and high schools to industrial sites like the Harley-Davidson plant in Milwaukee and ground-mount utility fields. The O&M line is in a deliberate rebuild. Kyle inherited a team that looked good on paper and did not produce, and he cleared it. He is now hiring for output, not pedigree. Every day a site sits down is a day it does not make money, so the person in this seat directly protects revenue and customer trust. This hire helps decide which way it goes. In the first year, become the technician Kyle can send to a broken site and trust to figure it out. He wants the guy who gets on base reliably, because when you put people on base you bring runs home. That means showing up to a site where something is down, diagnosing what is actually wrong, restoring production safely and efficiently, and moving to the next job without needing the answer handed to you. You will start with a guide and support on the phone. You will grow into someone who works the fault with your own troubleshooting mind.

Requirements

  • Hands-on electrical or electronic troubleshooting experience.
  • Comfort with standard electrical test equipment, specifically a multimeter and a clamp or amp meter.
  • Self-directed work habits and personal reliability.
  • Maturity and sound judgment.
  • Valid driver's license and a genuine willingness to accept significant windshield time, with occasional overnight travel to Wisconsin.
  • Willingness to learn on the job. Training is largely OJT with limited formal instruction.

Nice To Haves

  • Insulation-resistance (megger) testing is learnable on the job.
  • Military equivalent: EM (Electrician's Mate), ET (Electronics Technician), AE (Aviation Electrician's Mate), FC (Fire Controlman), IC (Interior Communications Electrician), STG (Sonar Technician), GS and GSE (Gas Turbine Systems electrical).
  • Military equivalent: any advanced-electronics rating uses these tools daily on energized and de-energized systems.
  • Military equivalent: any NCO or senior technician who ran their own maintenance actions without daily supervision.
  • Military equivalent: Kyle would generally pass on a four-year, first-term junior unless the maturity is unmistakable. Most advanced-electronics veterans signed six-year contracts and carry that maturity out with them.
  • Military equivalent: comfort operating independently in the field away from a home station.
  • Not a fit: rooftop residential installation experience alone, with no troubleshooting or maintenance background.

Responsibilities

  • Restore downed C&I, distributed-generation, and light-utility sites to production safely and efficiently, minimizing revenue lost to downtime.
  • Diagnose faults across a mixed inverter fleet spanning multiple OEM platforms, using HMI diagnostics, insulation-resistance testing, DC string isolation, and voltage and current analysis.
  • Deploy from home as a self-directed operator, out the door between 7:00 and 7:30, running your own day with minimal oversight.
  • Reduce unnecessary truck rolls by restoring sites remotely where the site allows, before driving out.
  • Progress from Level 1 to Level 2 technician within 12 months, taking more sites solo and helping dig the O&M line out of its backlog as the team scales.
  • Carry a share of the weekend on-call rotation once the team reaches roughly five technicians, restoring remotely wherever possible.
