Job Description

Solar Site Surveyor

Full-Time | Field-Based | Residential Solar

About This Role

Every successful solar installation starts with getting the details right.

SpartanX is looking for a motivated, detail-oriented Solar Site Surveyor who takes pride in accuracy, works confidently in the field, and understands that a thorough site survey sets the foundation for a successful installation.

In this role, you'll visit residential properties, evaluate roof and electrical conditions, identify potential installation challenges, and gather the critical information our Engineering, Permitting, and Installation teams need to keep projects moving.

We're looking for someone who can work independently, communicate professionally with homeowners, and deliver accurate, complete surveys without sacrificing quality for speed.

If you enjoy being in the field, solving problems, and taking ownership of your work, this could be a great fit.

What You'll Do

Field Surveys & Site Assessments

  • Conduct residential solar site surveys according to SpartanX standards.
  • Evaluate roof conditions, structural considerations, attic access, shading, and potential installation obstacles.
  • Inspect and document main service panels, subpanels, meters, and existing electrical equipment.
  • Capture accurate measurements, detailed photographs, and complete field notes.
  • Identify potential electrical, structural, or access concerns that could impact system design or installation.
  • Recognize site conditions that may require additional review before a project moves forward.

Documentation & Quality Control

  • Complete and submit accurate Site Survey Reports (SSRs) using company-approved software.
  • Ensure all required photos, measurements, and documentation are complete before submission.
  • Communicate potential concerns to Engineering, Permitting, and Operations teams.
  • Respond promptly to requests for additional information or clarification.
  • Maintain accurate records and meet established survey completion timelines.

Homeowner Experience & Field Safety

  • Represent SpartanX professionally during every homeowner appointment.
  • Communicate clearly and respectfully while conducting property assessments.
  • Safely access rooftops, attics, and other required areas.
  • Follow company safety procedures and established field standards.
  • Manage assigned appointments efficiently while maintaining high-quality work.

What We're Looking For

  • Previous experience in solar site surveying, construction, roofing, electrical work, or related field operations preferred.
  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accurate documentation.
  • Ability to work independently and manage daily appointments.
  • Basic understanding of residential construction and electrical systems.
  • Comfortable working on rooftops, ladders, in attics, and outdoors in varying weather conditions.
  • Proficiency with mobile applications, tablets, and digital reporting tools.
  • Strong communication skills and a professional approach to homeowner interactions.
  • Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record.
  • Ability to safely lift, carry, and maneuver equipment required for field surveys.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous residential solar site survey experience.
  • Familiarity with Aurora, Solo, or similar solar software platforms.
  • OSHA 10 certification.
  • Residential electrical knowledge or field troubleshooting experience.

Compensation & Incentives

$13.75 per hour + $50 per completed site survey

Vehicle Compensation — Choose One

  • Option 1: $500 Monthly Vehicle Allowance + $0.22 per mile.
  • Option 2: Company vehicle with company gas card included.

Additional Opportunities

  • Performance-based bonus and incentive opportunities.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
  • Relocation assistance for qualified candidates, when applicable.

Schedule

Primarily Monday–Friday, with occasional Saturday availability required.

This is a full-time, field-based position requiring travel to assigned residential survey appointments.
