at EnergyHub
🏢 About EnergyHub
EnergyHub is a mission-driven company at the forefront of the clean energy transition, specifically focused on distributed energy resources and grid flexibility. Unlike traditional energy companies, they partner with utilities to manage and optimize distributed assets like smart thermostats, EVs, and batteries, making them a key player in building a more sustainable and resilient grid. Working here means contributing directly to climate solutions while being part of a remote-first, tech-forward team.
About This Role
As a Customer Programs Support Associate at EnergyHub, you'll be the operational backbone for their utility programs, handling everything from participant email support to internal issue escalation and reporting. This role is impactful because you'll ensure smooth program execution for utilities and their customers, directly influencing customer satisfaction and the success of clean energy initiatives. You'll also identify systemic issues, helping improve products and processes that scale distributed energy adoption.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start by checking your email queue to respond to program applicants and participants, then prioritizing trouble tickets from utility partners for resolution. You'd collaborate with internal teams to escalate technical issues, update tracking systems, and work on weekly reports using Excel to summarize support activity and identify trends for process improvements.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who EnergyHub Is Looking For
- Has 1-2 years of experience in customer support or process management, ideally in a tech, SaaS, or energy-adjacent field, with a proven ability to handle a ticket queue and provide second/third-line support.
- Is exceptionally detail-oriented and organized, capable of managing multiple tasks like email support, ticket tracking, and weekly reporting without dropping balls, and has solid MS Excel skills for data analysis and reporting.
- Possesses outstanding written communication skills for clear, professional email support and reporting, plus a friendly, outgoing personality to represent EnergyHub positively to utility partners and participants.
- Has bonus experience with support ticket platforms (like Zendesk or Jira) and/or reporting software bugs, showing they can bridge customer issues with technical teams effectively.
📝 Tips for Applying to EnergyHub
Tailor your resume to highlight specific experience with email support, ticket management (mention any tools like Zendesk, Salesforce, or Jira), and reporting tasks—quantify results like ticket resolution times or customer satisfaction scores if possible.
In your application or cover letter, explicitly connect your skills to EnergyHub's mission; for example, mention how your support experience aligns with enabling clean energy programs or working with utility partners.
Showcase your Excel proficiency by noting specific functions you've used for reporting (e.g., pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) or examples of weekly/monthly reports you've generated in past roles.
If you have experience in energy, tech, or SaaS, emphasize it; if not, highlight transferable skills like process improvement or working with partner teams, which are key for this role's internal collaboration.
Avoid generic phrases; instead, use keywords from the job description like 'program support,' 'trouble ticket queue,' 'systemic issues,' and 'utility program staff' to demonstrate you've read and understood the role.

💬 Prepare for These Interview Topics

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Submitting a generic resume or cover letter that doesn't mention EnergyHub's mission, utility programs, or specific skills like ticket management and Excel reporting—this shows lack of effort.
- Overlooking the importance of detail orientation and multitasking in your application; failing to provide examples of handling multiple support tasks or reports can make you seem unprepared.
- Not demonstrating any knowledge of the energy or tech sector; if you have no relevant experience, not explaining how your skills transfer (e.g., from SaaS support to energy programs) can be a missed opportunity.
