at Everlight Solar

🏢 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 financial barriers create meaningful environmental impact. Working here means contributing to sustainable energy adoption while being part of a company that prioritizes both customer satisfaction and innovation in the solar industry.

About This Role

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

💡 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 their project status, and troubleshooting any issues that arise. You'll likely be managing multiple projects at different stages while recruiting or coordinating with subcontractors across various states, all while ensuring every customer receives excellent service throughout their solar journey.

🎯 Who Everlight Solar Is Looking For

  • A Mac ecosystem expert who owns a Mac computer and is fluent with Apple software (iOS, macOS, iWork), as this is explicitly required
  • Someone with proven experience managing solar projects through all phases, from design to closeout, not just general project management
  • A customer service champion with exceptional organizational skills who can validate expectations before, during, and after project completion
  • A tech-savvy professional proficient in both Microsoft Office programs and Salesforce, with experience coordinating multiple subcontractors

4

Demonstrate your customer service approach for solar projects - describe how you validate expectations at different project stages
