$36–$45/hr + overtime | Full-time W-2 | 4-day work week | Take-home vehicle
Fulton, MD and Chantilly, VA (field job, solar warehouse in Columbia, MD)
This is an on-site, field-based role. Not remote.
Got your journeyman license and want to work on solar and battery storage? We're adding one more licensed electrician to the American Home Contractors Solar Division. You'll own the electrical side of our installs and lead the apprentices on your jobs.
Heads up: we start early
Crews are on site by 8:00 AM. On long-drive days, you're on the road by 6:00 AM. If early mornings aren't for you, this isn't the right job. If they are, you get a four-day week in return.
