Spring 2026
Merlyn Power has been operating in the solar industry since 2003, working mainly in the tri-city area and are based in Kitchener.
We’re currently seeking some reliable part time help for residential solar energy system installation and service work.
This position could well lead to a higher number of hours, but is not guaranteed. Working days can be flexible Mon-Friday during regular business hours. Please note -- we are looking for a reliable person who can commit to this role for the remainder of 2026. If this doesn't fit with you, please don't apply.
We provide all training, tools, and a flexible, friendly work environment where you can learn new skills while doing quality work for our customers. This position allows for future growth into other areas of the business as we value well rounded (both office and field) team members who can take responsibility in and contribute to the organization as a whole – aptitude and interest permitting.
Valid drivers license with good driving record is required. Applicants do not need to have spent time in the solar field, but as this position is primarily driven by installation work, construction experience is valued and a degree of athleticism is required (must be comfortable working at height on the roof). This work has been described as "mountain climbing while electronics troubleshooting".
Working at Heights training provided.
