At KE, eligible employees have the opportunity to earn site-level bonuses based on project performance. While bonus amounts and eligibility may vary by project, the program is designed to reward teams for meeting key goals related to safety, quality, productivity and overall project success.

The solar industry offers a wide range of career opportunities. At KE, careers in solar can include roles such as solar installers, electricians, equipment operators, project managers, engineers, safety coordinators, foreman and construction managers. Many team members start in field installation roles and grow into leadership or management positions as they gain experience working on large scale renewable energy projects.

Absolutely. As the demand for renewable energy continues to grow, so does the need for skilled workers and leaders in the field. Many professionals begin in entry-level or field-based roles and advance into positions such as lead installer, foreman, superintendent, site coordinator or project management.

A merit shop rewards employees based on their performance, work ethic and contributions. Rather than waiting years for the next opportunity, employees who demonstrate leadership, take initiative and consistently perform at a high level can advance more quickly. For many people, that means greater control over their career path.

Solar Installers work as part of a team, building utility scale solar energy systems. Installers help assemble mounting structures, install solar panels, connect electrical components and prepare systems for testing and commissioning. These roles are hands-on and play a critical part in bringing solar energy projects to life.

No. Many successful solar professionals started in other construction trades such as roofing, framing, concrete, equipment operation and general labor. In fact, some entry-level roles require little to no experience at all. We value work ethic, a willingness to learn and a commitment to safety. While previous solar experience can be helpful for certain positions, many team members build their skills through hands-on experience in the field, making solar a great career path for individuals looking to enter the construction industry or apply skills from a related trade.

Careers in solar often benefit from mechanical and electrical knowledge, strong attention to safety and the ability to work as part of a team. At KE, experience in construction, electrical systems, engineering or equipment operation can also help employees advance within the company.

Yes. Many solar construction roles involve working outdoors, lifting materials and installing equipment across large project sites. Our crews often work in solar fields and open construction areas where teamwork, safety and physical effort are part of the job.

Yes. Most solar construction roles involve travel. At KE, we build large scale solar projects across multiple states, and field crews may travel to project locations for extended periods while construction is underway.

Solar O&M Technicians help keep solar energy systems running efficiently after installation. At KE, these professionals inspect equipment, monitor system performance, troubleshoot issues, and perform preventative maintenance to ensure solar facilities continue producing reliable power.

Many professionals enter the solar industry through trade programs, electrical apprenticeships, construction experience or engineering education. Internships and entry level roles can also provide valuable hands on experience that helps individuals begin long term careers in renewable energy.

Careers in solar allow people to work on large infrastructure projects that generate clean energy for communities. Many of our team members enjoy the opportunity to build something meaningful, work outdoors with a strong team and contribute to the future of energy.

Utility scale solar projects can range from several megawatts to more than 100 megawatts of power generation. Our team at KE helps design, build and commission these large energy facilities that supply electricity to communities and businesses.

Working in solar with us offers the rewarding opportunity to be part of a growing renewable energy industry while working on major infrastructure projects. Team members gain valuable technical skills, work alongside experienced professionals and help build energy systems that support the future of power generation.
