Who We Are

At Fonroche Lighting America, we’re leading the shift toward off-grid, solar-powered lighting systems, helping municipalities and developers build resilient, sustainable infrastructure. Our retrofit projects replace outdated grid-connected lighting with smart, solar-powered solutions—one streetlight at a time.

We operate with a strong set of core values:

Humility – We listen, learn, and grow together.

Dynamism – We thrive in a fast-paced, evolving industry.

Risk Taking – We innovate boldly to drive meaningful change.

Commitment – We stand by our mission, customers, and team.

Community & Team Spirit – We achieve more when we work together.

We’re looking for a hands-on Field Service & Installation Manager who thrives in the field - someone who can roll up their sleeves, manage technical service teams, and jump in on installations when needed. This role will have you traveling to job sites across the country (and occasionally abroad) to oversee solar lighting installations, troubleshoot issues, and ensure our systems are running at peak performance.

You will also be expected to supervise or participate in on-site installations, especially in complex retrofit or replacement scenarios.

This is a hands-on leadership role that requires strong communication, sharp problem-solving, and comfort working at height and in the field. You’ll collaborate closely with operations, sales, and engineering to ensure all service and installation work is completed safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.

• Team Leadership: Supervise, train, and support a growing team of technicians and contractors.
• Field Operations: Travel to job sites across the U.S. to ensure high-quality installation and service execution.
• Compliance & Safety: Ensure all work meets safety regulations, industry standards, and company policies.
• Process Improvement: Analyze recurring issues, recommend product enhancements, and improve technical service procedures.
• Documentation: Accurately log service and installation activity, costs, and customer communication.

What You Bring

• Field & Installation Experience: 3–5 years in technical service, field installation, or aftersales management, ideally in lighting, solar, or electrical infrastructure.
• Hands-On Leadership: You lead by example and can guide others through fieldwork and technical challenges.
• Technical Aptitude: Experience with electrical components, batteries, solar lighting, and diagnostic tools.
• Clear Communicator: Able to explain issues and solutions to customers, contractors, and internal teams in a calm, clear, and professional manner.
• Problem Solver: Proactive, solution-oriented, and able to adapt quickly in dynamic field conditions.
• Travel Ready: Willingness to travel frequently throughout the U.S. and occasionally to France for product training or site support.
• Work at Height: Comfortable with aerial lifts and working at height (certification a plus or provided).
• Physically Capable: Able to lift, move, and install product components as needed.
• Driver’s License Required: Valid license and clean record for travel in company vehicles.
