About IronHead Roofing & Solar
IronHead Roofing & Solar is a growing roofing and solar company focused on long-term growth, operational excellence, quality workmanship, and doing things the right way for our customers.
As our solar division continues to expand across residential and commercial markets, we are building more of our electrical capability in-house. We are looking for an experienced Electrical Journeyman who wants to become an important part of that growth.
This is an opportunity for an electrician who already has solar experience or someone who has built a strong electrical foundation and genuinely wants to learn the solar industry. We provide hands-on, onsite training with the systems and equipment we install, including Tesla and Enphase.
For the right person, this position also offers meaningful long-term growth. We are looking for someone who can perform excellent electrical work today while having the potential and interest to take on greater leadership responsibility as our solar division and in-house electrical capabilities expand.

Safety comes first. You understand that good electrical work starts with safe work practices, proper procedures, and personal accountability.
You solve problems. When something isn't working correctly, you don't simply identify the problem. You troubleshoot, think through the options, and help find the right solution.
You're a team player. You can take ownership of the electrical scope while working closely with crew leads, installers, project managers, and other trades.
You want to keep learning. You may already know solar, or solar may be the next step in your electrical career. Either way, you're interested in developing your knowledge of photovoltaic systems, Tesla and Enphase technology, and both residential and commercial solar applications.
You want room to grow. You're interested in more than simply completing today's job. You see the opportunity to help build something and potentially step into greater leadership as IronHead expands its in-house electrical operation.
