We are seeking an experienced PV Solar Field Tech Leader (Advanced) to lead the safe, efficient installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of utility-scale photovoltaic solar systems. This role is suited to a technically capable field professional who can coordinate site activities, guide technicians and contractors, and resolve complex electrical, mechanical and performance issues in challenging outdoor environments. You will act as a senior point of contact on site, helping ensure work is completed to approved designs, safety standards, quality requirements and project schedules.

Responsibilities will include supervising daily field operations; allocating tasks and monitoring productivity; supporting the installation and testing of modules, mounting systems, inverters, combiner boxes, trackers, cabling and related balance-of-system equipment; and carrying out fault-finding, corrective maintenance and system diagnostics. You will review drawings, method statements and technical documentation, complete inspection and test records, verify workmanship, and assist with energisation, commissioning and performance verification.
