Full Job Description

Phoenix Exteriors Roofing & Solar | Chicagoland, IL | Full-Time | $30.00 – $33.00 per hour to start

Why This Job Is Different

Most solar installers spend their careers on ranch homes and flat commercial roofs. We don't do most jobs.

Phoenix Exteriors & Solar is Tesla's leading Solar Roofing partner in the Chicagoland market. We've been a roofing company since 2007 and a solar company since 2018 - which means we do the work almost nobody else can do: solar and Tesla Solar Roof on steep slope, high-end residential homes. Slate. Metal. Composite. Roofs other companies walk away from.

If you're good on a steep roof and you want to learn a trade that pays for the rest of your life, this is the crew to be on.

What You'll Be Doing

Working under our lead installer on a small, tight crew. This is a full-scope role - new installs, service, and everything in between:

New Installations

Layout, mounting, and flashing of racking systems on steep slope roofs
Setting and securing solar modules
Roof penetrations and flashing detail work — done watertight, done right
Conduit and wire management: running pipe, bending, strapping, and clean wire routing that passes inspection and looks sharp
Assisting with Tesla Solar Roof installations as you develop

Battery & Equipment

Battery storage installations (Tesla Powerwall, SolarEdge, Enphase, Sol-Ark)
Battery units run from roughly 200 to 300+ lbs — these are team lifts using proper rigging, lifting equipment, and technique. If you've never moved something that heavy safely, we'll teach you how, but you need the physical capability
Mounting inverters, disconnects, and balance-of-system equipment

Service, O&M, and Detach & Reset

Troubleshooting existing solar systems - identifying underperforming strings, failed optimizers/microinverters, and wiring faults
Operations and maintenance repair work on systems already in the field
Detach and reset: safely removing existing arrays for roof replacement and reinstalling them correctly
Documenting site conditions and communicating findings back to the office

Every Job

Daily safety setup: harness, anchors, tie-offs, fall protection
Loading and staging material, ladder and hoist setup
Jobsite cleanup and magnet sweeps - we leave properties better than we found them

Where This Role Goes

This is not a dead-end labor position. We're building this role as step one on a real advancement track.

You'll be exposed to inverter mounting, battery systems, conduit work, and system troubleshooting from day one - not held on the racking crew for three years. Guys who show up, work safe, and learn fast move into leading their own service and install work, and eventually a supported path toward electrical licensing. We'd rather promote someone we trained than hire a stranger. That's how the person you'll be working under got there.

Your rate goes up as your skill set goes up. That's the deal.

What We're Looking For

Required:

Proven comfort and stability working on steep slope roofs - this is the single most important qualification
1+ year of experience in roofing, solar installation, or a related construction trade
Able to consistently lift and carry 50+ lbs solo, and to participate in team lifts of 200–300+ lb battery units using proper equipment and technique
Willingness to learn the service side - troubleshooting, O&M, and detach & reset work, not just new installs
Reliable transportation and a valid driver's license
Show up on time, every day, ready to work
Basic hand tools

Preferred (not required - we'll train the right person):

Prior solar racking and module installation experience
Battery storage installation experience - Tesla Powerwall, Enphase, SolarEdge, or Sol-Ark
Conduit bending and wire management experience
Solar troubleshooting, service, or detach & reset experience
OSHA 10 or OSHA 30
Experience with slate, tile, metal, or synthetic roofing systems
Bilingual English/Spanish
Familiarity with Tesla Racking, IronRidge, Sunmodo, or SnapNrack systems

What We Offer

$30 – $33/hour starting, based on experience - with raises tied to skill advancement
Year-round work (roofing and solar keeps the calendar full through the seasons)
Small crew, real training, direct access to leadership
Work on the most interesting and highest-end solar projects in the Chicago market
PTO, Holiday Pay, Health & Dental Insurance as well as Lifetime Fitness membership
Gas Allowance

Ready to Apply?

Apply through Indeed with a short note about your roofing or solar experience and how long you've been working on steep slope roofs. If you've got photos of your work, send them.
