EverWatt is a fast-growing energy efficiency company, founded in 2014, specializing in LED lighting retrofits. We partner with businesses to upgrade their lighting systems through PG&E's on-bill financing program, delivering financial savings and environmental benefits. As a small but expanding team, this is a unique opportunity to carve your own path and directly contribute to our company’s trajectory. We value meritocracy and are at an exciting stage of growth.
We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Project Operations Manager to manage and streamline all aspects of our lighting retrofit projects. In this role, you’ll coordinate between customers, utility partners, contractors, and warehouse staff to ensure projects run efficiently from start to finish. Your focus will be on improving project management and reducing inefficiencies, particularly by minimizing the number of lighting shipments per project.
