at Everlight Solar

🏢 About Everlight Solar

Everlight Solar stands out by offering homeowners hassle-free, affordable solar energy solutions with no upfront costs, making sustainable energy accessible. The company's customer-centric approach and focus on residential solar projects in the Tucson area create a mission-driven environment where employees directly contribute to expanding renewable energy adoption.

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 customers, field technicians, subcontractors, and government bodies. This role directly impacts customer satisfaction and project efficiency by ensuring seamless coordination across all project phases while troubleshooting issues and validating customer expectations throughout the process.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically involves coordinating with field technicians on active installations, updating Salesforce with project progress, communicating with homeowners about upcoming milestones, troubleshooting issues between subcontractors and local regulations, and validating customer expectations through scheduled check-ins. You'll simultaneously manage projects at different stages while ensuring documentation and compliance requirements are met for each.

🎯 Who Everlight Solar Is Looking For

  • A Mac-fluent professional who owns a Mac computer and is proficient with Apple's ecosystem (iOS, macOS, iWork) while also skilled in Microsoft Office and Salesforce
  • Someone with hands-on solar project experience who understands all phases from design to closeout, not just administrative support
  • An exceptional communicator who can manage multiple stakeholders simultaneously - from homeowners to subcontractors across multiple states
  • A highly organized problem-solver with proven ability to coordinate between field operations, customer service, and regulatory requirements

4

Demonstrate your customer service approach in the solar context - how you've validated expectations before/during/after projects

5

Show familiarity with Tucson's solar market or Arizona's renewable energy landscape in your application materials
