TALTRAN Global
Controller
Taltran Global has been exclusively retained by a fast-growing residential solar construction company based in Sacramento, California, to recruit a Controller. Our client provides end-to-end solar design, construction, and installation services, managing both its core construction operations and a complementary sales organization under one brand.
