SpartanX is seeking an experienced Solar Inspection Technician to support residential solar inspection operations across our active markets. This role serves as the critical quality checkpoint between installation and final approval. You'll evaluate completed solar projects for inspection readiness, identify deficiencies before the inspector does, coordinate necessary corrections, and help ensure projects are positioned to pass inspection the first time. We're looking for someone with solid residential solar experience who knows what a quality installation should look like, catches the details others miss, and can confidently work with inspectors, AHJs, homeowners, and field teams.

Attend residential solar inspections and communicate professionally with inspectors and AHJs
Coordinate correction items with Installation, Electrical, Service, and Operations teams
Document inspection results, deficiencies, correction requirements, and completed work accurately
Verify corrections have been completed properly before reinspection
Assist with scheduling and preparation for reinspections when necessary
Perform quality-control reviews to help improve first-time inspection pass rates
Identify recurring installation or inspection issues and communicate trends to leadership
Partner with field teams to improve installation consistency and reduce preventable inspection failures
What We're Looking For
Previous residential solar experience required
Strong understanding of residential solar installation practices and project workflows
Ability to recognize installation deficiencies, workmanship issues, and potential inspection concerns
Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects efficiently
Professional communication skills when working with inspectors, AHJs, homeowners, and internal teams
Strong organizational, documentation, and follow-through skills
Comfortable working on rooftops, ladders, and outdoors in varying conditions
Valid driver's license with an acceptable driving record required
Preferred Qualifications

Working knowledge of NEC requirements and residential solar electrical systems
Electrical experience

Experience working directly with AHJs, inspectors, permitting departments, or utilities
Experience preparing projects for inspection and resolving failed inspection items
Schedule
Primarily Monday–Friday, with occasional Saturday availability required.
What We Offer
$25–$32/hour, based on experience and qualifications
Monthly vehicle allowance for business use
Mileage reimbursement for approved work-related travel
Consistent full-time work
Training and ongoing professional development
Career advancement opportunities within a rapidly growing solar company
Collaborative environment working directly with Installation, Electrical, Service, and Operations
Opportunity to directly improve first-time inspection pass rates and overall project quality
