🏢 About Everlight Solar

Everlight Solar stands out by offering homeowners hassle-free, affordable solar energy solutions with no upfront costs, making renewable energy accessible. Their customer-centric approach and focus on simplifying the solar adoption process create a mission-driven environment where employees contribute directly to sustainable energy adoption.

About This Role

As a Project Data Assistant at Everlight Solar, you'll manage multiple solar projects from sales proposals through closeout while serving as the key liaison between field technicians, management, government bodies, and customers. This role is impactful because you'll ensure seamless project execution across multiple states while maintaining customer satisfaction throughout the solar installation journey.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves coordinating with field technicians across multiple states via Apple ecosystem tools, updating project statuses in Salesforce, validating customer expectations for upcoming installations, and recruiting/managing subcontractors while ensuring compliance with local regulations. You'll balance urgent customer communications with long-term project tracking across Everlight Solar's expanding service areas.

🎯 Who Everlight Solar Is Looking For

  • A Mac-fluent professional who owns a Mac computer and is proficient with Apple ecosystem software (iOS, macOS, iWork) alongside Microsoft Office and Salesforce
  • Someone with solar project experience who can independently manage multiple projects under pressure while coordinating between diverse stakeholders
  • An exceptional communicator with proven organizational skills who can validate customer expectations at every project phase and recruit/manage subcontractors
  • A detail-oriented problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced environments and can navigate government requirements while maintaining project timelines

📝 Tips for Applying to Everlight Solar

2

Quantify your solar project experience with specific metrics (projects managed, states covered, subcontractors coordinated)

3

Demonstrate your Salesforce proficiency with concrete examples of how you've used it for project tracking or customer management

4

Highlight any experience with Texas-specific solar regulations or San Antonio energy programs since this is a location-specific role

Showcase your multi-stakeholder coordination skills with examples of bridging communication between technical teams and customers
