Right about now, you could be asking yourself where we came up with the name Sandbox Solar. You could say it's because when we were little kids, we were the ones wanting to be outside playing in the sandbox instead of watching TV and playing video games. You could say it's because we borrowed the term from the world of software, where "sandbox" is an environment in which you can test and try new things. And you could say it's because solar panels are made of silicon which is basically sand. We think the name fits us well!

Our growth has kept us in the hiring mode, and we are seeking hard-working, dedicated installers with the skills and experience to hit the ground running. We’re looking for experienced solar installers who may have the capability and ambition to potentially grow into a management role within our company. But we’re also willing to train candidates who have solid construction-related experience, a great work ethic, and the motivation to learn and grow with us.

Our Solar Technicians:

• Represent Sandbox Solar with the professionalism and customer service we’re known for;
• Layout and assemble mounting hardware and solar modules, racks and electrical equipment
• Install and perform routine system maintenance on photovoltaic (PV) systems in accordance with codes and standards;
• Wire solar arrays (DC);
• Document completed installations;
• Clean up job sites upon completion of installation; and will
• Drive and maintain company vehicles.

    PV System Diagnostic & Repair 

• Remotely acquire project information (designs, monitoring, bills, etc.)
• Remote customer walkthrough/troubleshooting (power cycle, plug in monitor, etc.) 
• Contact inverter manufacturer to identify issues 
• Coordinate site visits (as needed) 
• Identify and flag issues requiring the attention of service manager, roof teams, or electrical team

    Commissioning Support 

• Monitoring setup (site map creation, connect to internet) 
• Close projects (customer walkthrough, PTO)
• Perform remote QA to prevent errors showing up in customer monitoring 

    Customer Service Calls

• High School Diploma (or GED) 
• NABCEP (strongly preferred) 
• Valid Driver's License with clean record 
• Ability to lift 50lbs 
• Ability to work safely and effectively on roofs and ladders

This won’t be the right opportunity for those who:

• Just want a job rather than a role in an incredible big picture;
• Don't take responsibility for tasks or accountability for mistakes;
• Are afraid of heights;
• Can’t tolerate working outdoors in all types of Colorado weather…weird as that can be;
• Can’t easily get along with a team of people working on a roof as well as the people living underneath it; or who
• Aren’t able to provide influence and leadership with or without formal chain of command.
