About This Role

As a Project Data Assistant at Everlight Solar, you'll manage multiple solar projects from sales proposals to closeout, serving as the critical liaison between field technicians, management, government bodies, and customers. Your role ensures seamless project execution across multiple states while validating customer expectations throughout the entire solar installation process.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically starts by reviewing Salesforce for project updates across multiple states, then coordinating with field technicians on installation timelines while simultaneously addressing customer inquiries about project progress. You'll spend midday validating subcontractor work, updating government compliance documentation, and recruiting new subcontractors, followed by afternoon sessions aligning department management with field realities and preparing next-day project validations.

4

Demonstrate your liaison capabilities by describing specific instances where you coordinated between field technicians, customers, and regulatory bodies
