🏢 About Everlight Solar

Everlight Solar stands out by offering hassle-free, affordable solar energy solutions with no upfront costs for homeowners, making sustainable energy accessible. Working here means contributing directly to the renewable energy transition in Omaha while being part of a customer-centric company that simplifies the solar adoption process.

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. This role is impactful because you'll ensure project accuracy and customer satisfaction while troubleshooting issues in a fast-paced renewable energy environment.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves reviewing multiple solar project plans for accuracy, coordinating with field technicians about installation schedules, validating customer expectations through phone or email communications, updating Salesforce with project progress, and troubleshooting any issues that arise between government requirements and customer needs. You'll balance documentation review with active customer service throughout the day.

  • Someone with solar project experience who can independently manage multiple projects under pressure with excellent judgment
  • An organized communicator with exceptional customer service skills who can validate expectations throughout the project lifecycle
