As an Apprentice Electrician with us, you’ll play a vital role in supporting the installation and maintenance of cutting-edge renewable energy systems. This is a hands-on position where you’ll be involved in the day-to-day activities that keep our projects running smoothly and efficiently. Your work will primarily focus on the installation of rooftop solar arrays, battery systems, and EV chargers on commercial properties.

Your Daily Tasks as an Apprentice Electrician

In your role, you’ll be responsible for supporting the installation of rooftop solar systems. This includes assisting in running and securing conduit for DC wiring from solar modules to inverters. You’ll perform basic wiring tasks, such as terminating PV modules and connecting battery storage systems. Under the supervision of experienced electricians, you’ll learn to test and troubleshoot solar inverters and monitoring systems. Your day will also involve coordinating material preparation, pre-assembling racking systems, and ensuring that tools are organized and ready for use. Safety is paramount, so you’ll follow all necessary procedures for rooftop work, including the use of fall protection equipment.

Additionally, you may assist in the installation and maintenance of EV chargers, helping to secure mounting brackets and run necessary electrical lines. Conducting routine inspections and maintaining a clean and organized job site will also be part of your daily routine. Your ability to support the team in a variety of tasks will be crucial to the success of our projects.
