• Track and report on inspection pass/failure rates, identifying trends and areas for improvement.
• Monitor and analyze field service resolution times to ensure efficiency and customer satisfaction.
• Drive the utility interconnection agreement process to achieve Permission to Operate (PTO) for completed installations.
• Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of inspection schedules, field service activities, and PTO status.
• Identify and implement process improvements to streamline the post-installation workflow.

What You’ll Bring

• 2+ years of experience in project coordination within the construction, solar, EV charger, battery, roofing, or similar field.
• Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a focus on clear and professional customer interactions.
• Experience scheduling and coordinating with external stakeholders (e.g., inspectors, utility representatives).
• Proficiency in managing documentation and utilizing online portals.
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to proactively address potential roadblocks.

About the Team

The Post-Installation Operations team owns the final mile of deployment—ensuring every installation is fully approved, operational, and delivering a seamless customer experience. This team sits at the intersection of customers, field service, utilities, and AHJs to close the loop on every project.

They focus on coordination, accuracy, and follow-through—managing inspections, documentation, and service needs while keeping everything on track toward Permission to Operate (PTO). Their work directly impacts system activation speed, customer satisfaction, and overall deployment quality.

This is a team for people who thrive in organized, detail-driven environments and enjoy turning complex processes into smooth, repeatable workflows.
