🏢 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 eliminating barriers to solar adoption create a mission-driven environment where employees contribute directly to sustainable energy expansion.

About This Role

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

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves coordinating with field technicians on active installations, updating Salesforce with project milestones, communicating with customers about upcoming site visits, and troubleshooting issues with subcontractors across different states. You'll spend significant time validating that projects stay on schedule while ensuring all stakeholders - from government bodies to homeowners - remain aligned throughout the solar installation process.

🎯 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), 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 understands the regulatory aspects of solar installations across different states

📝 Tips for Applying to Everlight Solar

1

Explicitly mention your Mac ownership and Apple software proficiency in your resume - this is a hard requirement

2

Quantify your solar project experience (e.g., 'managed 15+ residential solar installations simultaneously') rather than just listing it

3

Highlight any experience with subcontractor management or recruitment, especially across multiple jurisdictions

4

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

5

Show understanding of Everlight's 'no upfront cost' business model and how it affects customer expectations and project timelines

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your hands-on experience with solar projects and ability to manage multiple installations under pressure', 'Specific examples of serving as a liaison between technical teams, customers, and regulatory bodies', 'How your Mac/Apple ecosystem fluency enables efficient project management and communication', 'Your approach to validating and managing customer expectations throughout complex project lifecycles']
