Solar Project Coordinator

Cal Paso Solar Electric is a solar and electrical contractor focused on providing reliable solar energy, battery storage, and electrical solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural customers. We are looking for an organized, dependable, and customer-focused Remote Solar Project Coordinator to join our growing operations team.

The Solar Project Coordinator will play an important role in keeping solar projects organized and moving forward from the initial customer agreement through permitting, installation, inspection, utility coordination, and project completion. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys coordinating multiple moving parts, communicating with customers and internal teams, and making sure deadlines and documentation are handled accurately.

The successful candidate does not need to perform field installation work. Instead, this is a remote operations position supporting our field crews, project managers, customers, permitting activities, and office operations.
Position Summary

As a Remote Solar Project Coordinator, you will serve as a central point of communication throughout the solar project lifecycle. You will track project milestones, maintain accurate customer and project records, coordinate schedules, communicate with customers and team members, and help ensure that projects progress efficiently.

You will work closely with project managers, solar designers, electricians, installers, permitting agencies, utilities, vendors, and customers. Strong organizational skills and attention to detail are essential because each project may have different equipment, permitting requirements, utility procedures, and customer expectations.

This is a great opportunity for someone with experience in solar, construction coordination, project administration, electrical contracting, permitting, customer service, or a related industry.

Coordinate residential, commercial, and agricultural solar projects from contract through completion.
Maintain accurate project information in the company's CRM, project-management software, spreadsheets, and other systems.
Track project milestones, deadlines, permits, inspections, equipment, utility requirements, and installation schedules.
Coordinate communication between customers, project managers, designers, installers, electricians, vendors, and other project stakeholders.
Contact customers regarding project updates, scheduling, documentation, site requirements, inspections, and next steps.
Schedule and coordinate installation appointments, inspections, utility-related activities, and other project milestones.
Monitor project status and identify delays, missing information, or potential scheduling issues before they affect the customer or installation team.
Assist with solar permitting and utility interconnection paperwork as needed.
Follow up with permitting authorities and utility companies regarding project status and outstanding requirements.

Help project managers prepare project status reports and identify projects requiring immediate attention.
Respond promptly and professionally to customer questions by phone, email, and other approved communication channels.
Assist with resolving customer concerns and escalate technical or field-related issues to the appropriate team member.
Update customers regularly so they understand where their project stands and what to expect next.
Coordinate post-installation documentation and project closeout activities.
Assist with monitoring solar projects and customer service requests after installation when needed.
Perform other administrative and coordination responsibilities related to solar project operations.

A successful Project Coordinator understands that excellent communication is just as important as administrative accuracy. Customers should know what is happening with their project, project managers should have accurate information, and field teams should receive the information they need before arriving at a job.
Compensation & Benefits

Annual Salary: $55,000–$75,000, based on experience, solar-industry knowledge, technical skills, and qualifications.

Work Environment

This is a fully remote position supporting solar projects throughout the company's service area. The employee will communicate regularly with customers, project managers, office personnel, field crews, vendors, permitting agencies, and utility representatives.
