Team Leaders

Are you a solar contractor or installer interested in increasing the visibility of your company in the community? Or are you a GRID Alternatives volunteer and want to take on a leadership role at installations? Help provide guidance to less experienced volunteers, ensure a positive and safe experience, and verify that all work is done to GRID Alternatives’ standards. If you're interested in becoming a team leader, please contact us. Thanks!

Time Commitment: 1-2 days, 8:00AM-5:00PM with a break for lunch. Installations are typically 2-day installations, usually on weekends. You do not need to volunteer for consecutive days.
# of Volunteers Needed: At least 1-2 for each system each day
Details:
  • All equipment and tools are provided.
  • We have already done all the design and permitting. We will provide you with the approved drawings when you arrive, lunch, and lots of thank-yous.
  • All of our projects are fully insured and supervised by on-staff experienced Construction Managers. We are happy to add your company's name to the volunteer waiver if that is something that you would like us to do.
Qualifications: For those without significant professional solar installation experience, volunteer team leaders are required to:

  • Have participated in at least five GRID Alternatives installation days.
  • *Attend a 2-hour team leader training. Please see our calendar or monthly email blasts for dates and locations.
  • Have a GRID Alternatives staff person sign off on a skill set spreadsheet.
    *All volunteers must attend the volunteer orientation before requesting a team leader training.
Benefits: Wear your company shirt or bring your company brochures to display your company's commitment to sustainability and community. Often our volunteers are interested in getting a system on their home or business. We will thank you during our morning safety talk and tell volunteers to talk to you if they are interested in getting a system quote.
