How to Apply for MV/HV Safety Manager (Remote)
at SOLV Energy
🏢 About SOLV Energy
SOLV Energy is a leader in the solar energy industry, dedicated to pioneering cleaner power and brighter futures across North America. With a strong focus on large-scale solar projects, the company offers a remote work environment and a commitment to safety excellence. Joining SOLV Energy means contributing to the renewable energy transition while working with a team that values innovation and professional growth.
About This Role
As the MV/HV Safety Manager, you will be the cornerstone of electrical safety across multiple solar project sites, ensuring compliance with OSHA and NFPA 70e standards. Your work will directly impact the well-being of field teams and the success of critical energy projects. This remote role requires extensive travel (75%) to coordinate safety programs, conduct training, and lead incident investigations, making it ideal for a seasoned safety professional who thrives on variety and hands-on impact.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start with a virtual safety briefing with project managers across three different solar sites, followed by a review of recent incident reports and updating safety procedures. You might then travel to a site for an electrical safety audit, conduct a training session on arc flash hazards, and end the day by drafting corrective actions from a near-miss investigation. Flexibility and travel are key, as no two days are the same.
