About This Role

As a Project Data Assistant at Everlight Solar, you'll manage multiple solar projects from sales proposals through completion, serving as the key liaison between customers, field technicians, and government bodies. Your role ensures project accuracy, equipment integrity, and exceptional customer service throughout the entire solar installation lifecycle.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing multiple solar project plans for accuracy, coordinating with field technicians about installation schedules, responding to customer inquiries about project status, and updating Salesforce with project milestones. You'll simultaneously validate customer expectations for upcoming installations while troubleshooting any issues with completed projects, all while ensuring documentation meets both company standards and government requirements.

🎯 Who Everlight Solar Is Looking For

  • Owns a Mac computer and is deeply fluent with Apple ecosystem software (iOS, macOS, iWork) as this is a specific requirement
  • Has hands-on experience with solar project development across all phases, not just administrative support
  • Demonstrates exceptional organizational skills with proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously while maintaining customer service excellence
  • Is proficient in both Microsoft Office programs and Salesforce, with experience using these tools for project tracking and documentation

Highlight specific examples where you served as liaison between multiple stakeholders (technicians, customers, government)

4

Demonstrate your Salesforce proficiency by mentioning specific modules or features you've used for project management

5

Show how you've validated customer expectations throughout project cycles, not just at single touchpoints
