Electrical Superintendent — Commercial & Industrial Solar
Northern Sun Electric | Traveling / Multi-Site
About the Role
Northern Sun Electric is hiring an Electrical Superintendent to lead field operations across our industrial solar portfolio. This is a traveling, site-based role: you'll move between active ground-mount projects, owning safety, quality, schedule, and crew performance from mobilization through commissioning. If you're a hands-on field leader who takes pride in building things right and keeping crews safe, we want to talk.
What You'll Do
- Lead and supervise electrical crews and subcontractors across multiple concurrent solar sites.
- Own jobsite safety — enforce OSHA and company safety standards, lead toolbox talks, and drive a zero-incident culture.
- Manage daily field operations: scheduling, manpower planning, material coordination, and productivity tracking.
- Read and interpret electrical drawings, single-line diagrams, and project specifications.
- Coordinate with project managers and utility inspectors to keep installations on schedule and inspection-ready.
- Oversee DC and AC installation, terminations, combiner boxes, inverters, and interconnection work.
- Ensure quality control and code compliance (NEC) through all phases of construction and commissioning.
- Document daily reports, track progress against schedule, and flag risks early.
What You Bring
- 5–10 years of electrical construction experience, with field supervisory/superintendent experience on commercial or solar projects.
- Strong knowledge of the NEC and electrical installation practices.
- Solar-specific experience (PV systems, inverters, racking, interconnection) strongly preferred.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical and structural construction documents.
- Proven leadership — you can run crews, hold people accountable, and keep morale high.
- Willingness and ability to travel to project sites for extended periods.
- OSHA 30 (or ability to obtain); master electrician license a plus.
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record.
Why Northern Sun Electric
- Competitive pay (commensurate with experience)
- Growth in a fast-moving renewable energy company doing meaningful work
