๐ข 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.
๐ก 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.
๐ Application Tools
๐ฏ 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.

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

['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."]
