Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Consultant Jobs at Sunrun Jobs
Frame your credentials around energy consulting
Sunrun's Consultant roles sit at the intersection of project delivery, customer solutions, and clean energy operations. Tailor your resume to reflect experience in these areas so hiring managers can map your background directly to their solar deployment model.
Target roles tied to active expansion markets
Sunrun scales its Consultant headcount in states where residential solar demand is growing fastest. Focus your applications on postings in those high-activity markets, where the business case for sponsorship is strongest and roles are more likely to be filled quickly.
Clarify OPT and CPT authorization early in interviews
If you're on F-1 status, confirm with your DSO that your OPT or CPT authorization covers the specific consulting work Sunrun is offering. Mismatches between your authorized employment category and the actual role can delay or void your start date.
Understand the H-1B specialty occupation standard for consulting
USCIS scrutinizes Consultant petitions closely to confirm the role requires a specific bachelor's degree field. Before your offer is finalized, review the job description with your attorney to ensure the duties and degree requirements clearly meet the specialty occupation definition.
Ask about PERM timing before accepting your offer
Sunrun sponsors EB-2 and EB-3 Green Cards for Consultant roles, but PERM labor certification can take a year or more through DOL. Ask your recruiter at the offer stage whether the company initiates PERM concurrently with your H-1B or on a separate timeline.
Browse verified Sunrun Consultant openings on Migrate Mate
Finding roles where sponsorship is confirmed upfront saves weeks of back-and-forth. Use Migrate Mate to filter Sunrun's active Consultant postings by visa type so you're only applying to positions where your status is already a fit.

Find Consultant at Sunrun JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Sunrun sponsor H-1B visas for Consultants?
Yes, Sunrun sponsors H-1B visas for Consultant roles. The company has an active sponsorship history for this position type, covering both new H-1B filings and transfers. Because USCIS requires Consultant petitions to meet the specialty occupation standard, your offer letter and job description should clearly tie the role to a specific degree field before your employer files.
Which visa types does Sunrun commonly use for Consultant roles?
Sunrun sponsors H-1B visas for specialty occupation Consultant positions and supports F-1 OPT and CPT for students in consulting-adjacent roles. The company also has a pathway to permanent residency through EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship, and it hires TN visa holders from Canada and Mexico where the Consultant role qualifies under USMCA professional categories.
How do I apply for Consultant jobs at Sunrun?
Apply directly through Sunrun's careers portal or use Migrate Mate to browse verified Consultant openings filtered by visa sponsorship type. When you apply, highlight any experience in residential solar, clean energy project delivery, or customer-facing consulting roles. Sunrun's Consultant hiring spans multiple U.S. markets, so applying in regions with active solar growth increases your chances of a fast response.
What qualifications does Sunrun expect for sponsored Consultant positions?
Sunrun typically looks for candidates with a bachelor's degree in a field relevant to the Consultant function, such as business, engineering, or a related discipline. Practical experience in solar, construction, or real estate consulting strengthens your application significantly. For H-1B sponsorship specifically, your degree field must align closely with the duties described in the job posting to satisfy USCIS specialty occupation requirements.
How do I plan my timeline if I need H-1B sponsorship at Sunrun?
The standard H-1B cap runs on an annual lottery cycle, with USCIS accepting registrations in March for an October 1 start date. If you're on F-1 OPT, confirm your OPT expiration date and factor in the 60-day grace period. If your OPT runs out before October 1, ask Sunrun whether the role qualifies for cap-exempt filing or if a cap-gap extension applies to your situation.
