Field Operations Technician

About the Role

Field Surveyors visit customer homes to collect precise measurements, photographs, and structural/electrical data needed for solar designs. They assess roof conditions, electrical service panels, and property features using standardized tools, and perform ladder climbs, rooftop walks, and attic inspections as required. Survey data is submitted promptly via mobile field tools, and post‑installation inspections verify that systems meet approved plans, code, workmanship, and safety standards.
