Bright Minds. Bold Mission. Clean Future.
At Recurrent Energy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Canadian Solar Inc., we're more than a global leader in utility-scale solar and battery storage—we're not just building utility-scale solar and battery storage projects—we're shaping the future of energy.

Our true strength? The people who bring our projects to life and keep them running.
We're a team of hands-on problem solvers who move with urgency, take pride in quality, and never shy away from a challenge. This isn't the kind of place where work coasts on autopilot. We expect focus, accountability, and follow-through—from everyone.
 

We value:

• Critical Thinking and Decisiveness – Problem solvers who trust their judgement at every stage, from construction to long-term asset management.
• Purpose-Driven Excellence – People driven by purpose, not just process, who understand the lasting impact of their work. 
   

What you can expect:
Here, you'll grow by doing. We invest in our people with real stretch opportunities, ongoing development, and the chance to build expertise in one of the world's most critical industries. And while the pace is fast and the expectations are high, so is the opportunity.
 

Our values aren't just posters on the wall. Trust, Accountability, Teamwork, Excellence, Inclusiveness, and Humbleness guide how we work, grow, and deliver—together.
 

So, if you're looking for comfort, cruise control, or a place to hide—we're not for you.

But if you're hungry to make a difference, ready to get your hands dirty, and want to be part of something meaningful—then we'd love to meet you.  Join us. Build what matters.
