Reviewed roles mentioning travel or site visits

Roles with a consistent travel percentage

Companies or recruiting advertisers represented

A remote base can come with a field schedule

90% travel appears in the description of a QA/QC Solar Technician role at Cypress Creek Renewables. The same description calls the role remote. For a candidate, those two details describe very different parts of the job: where they can be based and where they will spend their workdays.

Our review found 54 employer-role combinations with a remote offer or label and enough description text to assess. Travel or site visits appeared in 74.1% of them. That share describes this Solar Roles sample, not the US solar labor market.

90%

Cypress Creek Renewables

QA/QC Solar Technician

“extensive travel (90% required)”

Source listing

Approximately 60–75%

Hanwha Convergence USA

Regional Commercial Solar Technician 4

“Travel throughout the assigned region (approximately 60–75%)”

Source listing

76–100%

RES

Field Service Technician II – Solar BESS- Traveler

“Domestic travel 76-100% required.”

Source listing

Up to 85%

ENGIE

Field Service Technician II (Traveling)

“Must be available to travel domestically up to 85% of the time”

Source listing

These are advertised expectations, not measured travel. ENGIE's “up to 85%” is a ceiling. Hanwha's 60–75% is an approximate range. RES states a required 76–100% range.

Without SOLV Energy, 71.4% still mention travel

SOLV Energy accounts for 12 of the 54 employer-role combinations (22.2%), the largest share in this sample. 10 of its combinations mention travel or site visits.

Full reviewed sample: 74.1% (40 of 54)
Excluding SOLV Energy: 71.4% (30 of 42)

The change is -2.6 percentage points, calculated before rounding the two shares. Travel mentions remain common in the remaining sample. This check removes the largest contributor; it does not correct for the mix of other employers or roles, or make the sample representative of the wider market.

Most travel disclosures did not give a percentage

25 roles mentioned trips or site visits without expressing them as a percentage of working time. Some were specific in another way: a Jobot community-solar role described monthly visits, while a Consolidated Electrical Distributors design role called for visits at least weekly.

One category per employer-role combination. The first three categories make up the 40 roles mentioning travel or site visits. Source: Solar Roles description review, September 6, 2026.

One Intertek description said both “over 80%” and “up to 80%.” We counted it as mentioning travel and kept it outside the 14 consistent percentage disclosures. We did not turn either phrase into a single travel estimate.

“Fully remote” did not always mean no site visits

SOLV Energy's BESS Engineer II description called the role fully remote and also required travel to support project execution. Several commissioning roles carried a remote location label while describing hybrid work and extended stays at project sites.

A remote label does not establish that an employer promised zero travel. Labels can also come from a recruiting platform or the way a listing was imported. This review measures the wording available on Solar Roles; it does not determine whether an employer misled applicants.

Ask about nights away before accepting an interview

11 reviewed roles had no explicit travel or attendance requirement we could identify. Silence is not a no-travel guarantee. A useful follow-up is: “How many overnight trips did the person in this role take last quarter, and how long did each trip last?” Ask separately about local site visits, office days and peak construction periods.

How we reviewed the listings

Employer concentration. SOLV Energy contributes 12 of 54 combinations (22.2%). Removing all of its combinations leaves 30 of 42 mentioning travel or site visits (71.4%, compared with 74.1% in the full sample). We use the same grouping and coding rules in both calculations, with one vote per employer-role combination. This is a sensitivity check on employer concentration, not an employer-balanced estimate. Compare the results.

Snapshot. We screened 2,014 active, unexpired, unpaused and undeleted Solar Roles records at 15:05 UTC on September 6, 2026. Titles, locations and original stored descriptions were searched for remote, remotely, work-from-home, work-at-home, home-based, telecommuting, telework and WFH wording. We analyzed the stored source description, not the SEO rewrite.

Eligibility. The search returned 276 candidates. Contextual review retained explicit role-specific remote offers, conditional remote options, and remote title or location labels. We excluded 193 records with Canadian locations or without a qualifying offer, including hybrid-only schedules, remote equipment or isolated sites, negative wording, generic company benefits and ambiguous mentions. A remote label on an otherwise hybrid description stayed in scope because the label itself is part of the candidate-facing information.

Grouping. The final analysis covers 54 employer-role combinations from 82 listing records and 30 companies or recruiting advertisers. The initial grouping produced 55 combinations; 1 was excluded because it contained only a company introduction, leaving 54 for every full-sample statistic, chart and downloadable data row. We grouped repeated company/title variants across locations and listing IDs, including Jobot Solar/EPC title variants, Venture Solar inside-sales variants, and DEPCOM/Koch duplicates. Different commissioning disciplines stayed separate. These are analytical groups, not verified unique vacancies.

Coding. Travel includes stated business trips and site visits, whether required or possible, local or overnight. Physical field-work wording and ambiguous office attendance have separate categories. We retained percentage qualifiers and did not convert trip frequency to a percentage. “Up to” is a ceiling, not a minimum or an observed average. No stated requirement was coded as unknown, not zero travel. Classifications were assisted by keyword extraction and contextual review; they have not undergone independent double-coding.

Limits. This is a small convenience sample from one job board, including solar, storage and related electrical roles. It includes recruiting firms as well as direct employers. Coverage, source freshness, importing errors and grouping choices can affect the results. Before grouping, 59 of 82 eligible records mentioned travel or site visits; repeated advertisements therefore change the weighting. No company ranking, national prevalence estimate or claim about actual employee travel is made.
