Description

Full Spectrum began in August 2002 as "Light Energy Systems," when lead Engineer Burke O'Neal returned from his position with the California-based Light Energy Systems to set up a similar business with his brother, Master Plumber Mark O'Neal.

With Light Energy Systems in California, Burke designed and supervised the installation of more than a hundred grid-connected photovoltaic and solar thermal systems. Here in Madison, our team has installed over 200 solar energy systems. Our most visible projects include Yahara River View Apartments, Porchlight's Pheasant Ridge Apartments, Troy Gardens Co-housing, and Planet Bike in Madison; Dr. Wesley L. Scott Senior Living Community in Milwaukee; Gund Brewery Loft Apartments in LaCrosse; Evansville Community Pool in Evansville; and Dominican Eco-Justice Center in Racine.

With a Master Plumber, Master Electrician, and four degreed engineers on staff, we are among the most highly credentialed solar contractors operating in the midwest. We are licensed as an electrical contractor and HVAC contractor in Wisconsin, and we are fully insured.

Position Overview: 

Full Spectrum Solar is currently seeking 2 Photovoltaic (PV) Installation Technicians for the fall (starting as soon as possible and ending December 30th).  Depending on workload, there is a possibility that the position could be extended or become permanent. 

This is a great opportunity to work with experienced installers, electricians and engineers who have years of experience in the solar energy construction industry.  The primary job responsibility is to construct PV mounting racks and install PV modules for commercial and residential sites under supervision. 

The position requires following schematics, written instructions and verbal directions.  The work includes mounting PV panels on roofs, trellises and ground-mount racks.  The position may occasionally require assisting electricians with installing inverters and associated electrical equipment.

Qualifications:

Ideal position for a person who is hands-on, mechanically inclined and self-motivated.  Previous solar, construction or electrical experience would be a plus. Some of the work is physically demanding.  After the mounting racks are constructed, solar modules are individually carried and positioned repeatedly on roofs and weigh up to 41 pounds. 

You will need to be comfortable working on roofs, and ladders.  A valid driver's license is required.  Transportation to jobsites is desirable, but not required. 

To Apply: 

Please send or email resume and cover letter.
