Our client is a rapidly growing renewable energy EPC specializing in commercial & industrial rooftop solar and community solar projects throughout Illinois. With a strong pipeline of distributed generation projects and an integrated engineering and construction platform, the company has built a reputation for high-quality execution, safety, and long-term customer relationships across the Midwest.

Known for its field-first culture and self-perform construction capabilities, the organization is continuing to expand alongside the rapid growth of the Illinois solar market.

The Role
