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.

You'll balance validating customer expectations with ensuring regulatory compliance while troubleshooting any project delays or communication gaps between stakeholders.

  • An excellent communicator with strong organizational skills who can serve as an effective liaison between diverse stakeholders including technicians, customers, and government bodies
  • A proactive problem-solver with experience managing subcontractors and the ability to recruit new subcontractors across multiple states
