Good company with potential - Field Technician QE Solar Employee Review

QE Solar is growing and there are a lot of opportunities to join from entry level to more advanced technical, electrical, or customer-facing roles. Management is engaged, knowledgeable, and involved. The pay structure is very good, and we often find opportunities for overtime or bonuses depending on your position. Safety is a priority and field employees receive PPE and annual budget for clothing and boots. The team works hard and gets along well.

The workforce is mostly remote, so you may not interact face to face with other employees often.

The company operates in an interesting industry and some teams are made up of experienced professionals who genuinely care about the work. There is potential if leadership aligns more closely with operational realities.

here appears to be a growing disconnect between leadership and the technical and operational aspects of the business. In several instances, leadership discussions and interviews do not explore core topics such as portfolio governance, operational KPIs, contract management, or time-and-materials (T&M) billing discipline. These are fundamental components of running service and asset portfolios effectively, yet they are often overlooked. Employees who focus on operational rigor sometimes feel undervalued, while others are described internally as “hiding under the radar” and eventually managed out rather than coached or developed. This creates uncertainty and contributes to turnover. Work-life balance can also be inconsistent. Some employees report difficulty taking planned time off, which adds to the perception that leadership priorities are not aligned with sustainable team management. Overall, the organization would benefit from leadership with deeper operational and technical experience, as well as stronger engagement with the teams responsible for executing the work.
