at SOLV Energy

๐Ÿข About SOLV Energy

SOLV Energy is a leader in solar energy construction and operations across North America, dedicated to pioneering cleaner power and brighter futures. Working here means contributing to large-scale renewable projects that make a tangible environmental impact, with a culture that values innovation and collaboration.

About This Role

As an HV Business Operations Coordinator, you'll be the backbone of service operations, ensuring projects run smoothly by managing contracts, change orders, and customer relationships. Your work directly supports the delivery of high-voltage solar projects, keeping budgets and timelines on track while fostering client trust.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

You start your day reviewing emails from service managers and customers, then update contract statuses and change orders in the ERP system. Midday, you join a virtual meeting to discuss project timelines with a client, and by afternoon, you're coordinating with field teams to ensure materials arrive on schedule, resolving any budget discrepancies that arise.

๐ŸŽฏ Who SOLV Energy Is Looking For

  • You have 2+ years of hands-on experience with contracts and change order management, ideally in construction, energy, or a related field.
  • You're comfortable with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and can quickly learn new software to track project costs and schedules.
  • You excel at communication, able to lead customer meetings and coordinate between service managers, field teams, and clients with clarity and professionalism.
  • You're proactive and use independent judgment to solve operational issues before they escalate, balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced remote environment.

๐Ÿ“ Tips for Applying to SOLV Energy

1

Highlight specific examples of managing change orders and contracts in your resume, quantifying impact (e.g., 'negotiated 15+ change orders, saving $50k').

2

Mention any experience with high-voltage or solar projects, even tangentially, to show industry alignment.

3

In your cover letter, explicitly connect your ERP proficiency to SOLV Energy's operational needsโ€”name the system you've used.

4

Tailor your application to emphasize remote work skills: self-discipline, async communication, and time zone management.

5

Research SOLV Energy's recent projects (e.g., their largest solar farms) and reference them in your cover letter to show genuine interest.

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your contract and change order management expertise, with concrete results.', 'Your ability to build and maintain customer relationships through regular communication.', 'Your comfort with ERP systems and how you use them to track project performance.', "Your alignment with SOLV Energy's mission of cleaner power and your enthusiasm for remote teamwork."]

๐Ÿ’ฌ Prepare for These Interview Topics

Based on this role, you may be asked about:

1 Describe a time you managed a complex change order under tight deadlines. How did you ensure all stakeholders were aligned?
2 How do you prioritize tasks when coordinating multiple projects with competing deadlines?
3 What ERP systems have you used, and how did you leverage them to improve operational efficiency?

โš ๏ธ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Don't submit a generic applicationโ€”failing to mention contracts, change orders, or ERP systems will make you invisible.
  • Avoid downplaying remote work experience; if you lack it, proactively address how you stay organized and communicate.
  • Don't ignore the customer relationship aspectโ€”this role is client-facing, so show you can handle that.
