Cross-Functional Coordination

• Serve as the central point of coordination between sales, engineering, operations, and installation teams
• Facilitate clear handoffs between departments at each project stage
• Communicate project requirements, dependencies, and updates to internal stakeholders
• Act as a point of contact for customers on project status, timelines, and next steps

Project Status & Pipeline Blockers

• Track the status of all projects in the pipeline and provide regular status reporting to leadership
• Identify blockers such as missing documentation, design issues, permitting or utility delays, and equipment constraints, and drive them to resolution
• Escalate risks and unresolved issues to the appropriate stakeholders in a timely manner
• Contribute to pipeline reviews and help prioritize projects to maintain workflow efficiency

Change Orders

• Manage the change order process from request through execution
• Assess the impact of proposed changes on scope, design, cost, and schedule
• Coordinate with sales, engineering, and operations to review, approve, and document changes
• Communicate changes clearly to customers and internal teams and ensure all required actions are completed before installation proceeds

Process Improvement

• Identify recurring delays or bottlenecks and recommend improvements to project workflows
• Support the development of project management standards, templates, and reporting tools

• 1–3 years of experience in project management, project coordination, or a related role
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines at once
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence working across departments and with customers
• Proactive, solutions-oriented approach to identifying and resolving problems
• High attention to detail and accountability for outcomes
• Experience with CRM systems or project management tools is an asset
• Experience in solar, renewable energy, construction, or the trades is an asset
• PMP, CAPM, or other project management training is an asset
