Solar Installation Supervisor

Job description

Who We Are:

Streetleaf specializes in bringing modern and renewable technology to communities through an often-overlooked feature - streetlights. We have been installing our clean, green lighting machines throughout the state of Florida for the past four years. We have quickly established the largest fleet of solar streetlights in the nation and now is the time we take our groundbreaking system across the US.

Streetleaf is the leading Solar Streetlighting Company in the US, with our sights set on world domination. To get there, we are going to need to change the way the world thinks about streetlights. This message is only achievable if Streetleaf continues to use the best available software and hardware solutions to make renewable powered streetlights better than the grid alternative.

The Role:

We are seeking a skilled Solar Street Light Installation Supervisor to oversee and coordinate the installation of solar-powered street lighting systems. The ideal candidate will have strong technical expertise in solar energy systems, electrical installations, and team leadership. The role involves supervising installation teams, ensuring safety compliance, maintaining quality control, and managing project timelines efficiently.

Here, we do things a bit differently. There’s no corporate nonsense, and no old-fashioned hierarchy. Instead, we work in self-sufficient, autonomous teams. Each team picks the problems they want to solve. So, there’s no micro-management and no hiding behind fancy job titles. We’re going to be upfront — the way we work doesn’t suit everyone, but if freedom, autonomy, and life-affirming and head-scratching professional challenges rock your world, Streetleaf could be the place and opportunity for you.
