TRAVEL AND TRANSPORTATION

Approximately 90% of projects are within a 30-mile radius of Alachua County. Employees report to company's office and then travel to jobsites in company vehicles.

Solar Impact generally has one or two out-of-town projects each year. These projects are typically within 150 miles but may require overnight stays lasting one to two months. Candidates must understand and accept this possibility.

Employees normally will not use their personal vehicles for jobsite travel. If authorized personal vehicle use is necessary, company reimburses mileage.
