Field Service Technician

The Field Service Technician supports this mission in an important way by providing hands-on support in the field for sonnen product and sonnen installations. Field Service Technicians are technical and troubleshooting experts for the sonnen product and typical sonnen installations. They are knowledgeable about installation best practices, troubleshooting and repair best practices, and deeply understand the sonnen product and how it integrates into the renewable energy system and built environment. Field Service Technicians work with a “closed loop” service strategy, taking complete ownership of cases and customers who are assigned to them, and not closing cases until the problem is completely resolved and the customer is satisfied. This is a heavy travel position, with up to 75% of time spend in the field.
