🏢 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 simplifying the solar adoption process create a mission-driven environment where employees contribute directly to sustainable energy expansion.

About This Role

As a Project Data Assistant at Everlight Solar, you'll manage multiple solar projects from sales proposals through closeout, serving as the critical liaison between field technicians, management, government bodies, and customers. This role ensures seamless project execution and customer satisfaction in a fast-paced renewable energy environment.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day typically starts by reviewing Salesforce for project updates, then coordinating with field technicians across multiple states while validating customer expectations. You'll spend afternoons managing subcontractor communications, updating project documentation in Apple's iWork suite, and preparing reports for department management on project progress.

🎯 Who Everlight Solar Is Looking For

  • A Mac-fluent professional comfortable with Apple ecosystem software (iOS, macOS, iWork) who can seamlessly integrate with Everlight's tech stack
  • Someone with proven experience managing solar projects independently under pressure, demonstrating excellent organizational and time management skills
  • A communicator who excels at managing multiple stakeholders including subcontractors across states, customers, and government bodies
  • A tech-savvy individual proficient in Microsoft Office and Salesforce who can handle project data and coordination efficiently

📝 Tips for Applying to Everlight Solar

1

Explicitly mention your Mac ownership and Apple ecosystem fluency in your resume - this is a specific requirement, not just a preference

2

Quantify your solar project experience with metrics (e.g., 'managed 15+ concurrent solar installations' or 'reduced project closeout time by 20%')

3

Highlight any experience with subcontractor management across multiple states, as this is specifically mentioned in the job description

4

Demonstrate your Salesforce proficiency with specific examples of how you've used it for project tracking or customer relationship management

5

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