About This Role

As a Project Data Assistant at Everlight Solar, you'll manage multiple residential solar projects from sales proposals through completion, serving as the critical liaison between field technicians, management, government bodies, and customers. This role ensures timely project execution by validating customer expectations, reviewing documentation for accuracy, and monitoring equipment production. Your work directly impacts customer satisfaction and project efficiency in Jacksonville's solar market.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing multiple solar project documentation in Salesforce, coordinating with Jacksonville field technicians about installation schedules, validating customer expectations via phone or email, and ensuring government paperwork is accurate for permitting. You'll balance urgent customer communications with detailed project tracking, often troubleshooting scheduling conflicts while maintaining Everlight Solar's commitment to hassle-free service.

  • Someone with demonstrated experience managing solar projects independently, able to handle pressure while exercising good judgment
