    Track warranty case progress and follow through to resolution

    Coordinate with vendors on technical support and replacements

    Field Support & Quality Control

    Review technician reports, photos, and commissioning data for accuracy and completeness

    Provide feedback and support to field technicians as needed

    Help maintain consistent service quality standards

    Financial & Administrative Support

    Assist with service job invoicing and cost tracking

    Support tracking of key service KPIs (response time, resolution time, service margins)

    Help ensure accurate documentation for billing and internal reporting

    Qualifications

    Required:

    3+ years of experience in solar PV (service, installation, or engineering)

    Strong understanding of solar system components (inverters, monitoring, wiring, production issues)

    Experience troubleshooting solar system performance issues

    Native or fluent English speaker with excellent verbal communication skills

    Comfortable leading Zoom calls, phone calls, and screen-sharing sessions

    Highly organized and detail-oriented

    Ability to work independently in a remote environment

    Preferred:

    Familiarity with monitoring platforms and remote diagnostics tools

    Experience with warranty processes and manufacturer coordination

    Basic understanding of electrical systems and NEC concepts

    Experience with CRM or service management software

    Exposure to service-related financial tracking or invoicing

    Key Traits for Success

    Clear communicator who builds trust with customers and team members
