Design and Installation Manager SunRun
The CompanySunrun?s mission is to make solar energy affordable for more people. We help people upgrade their home to solar energy without the big upfront costs. Instead, we use a variety of project finance structures to purchase solar facilities for our homeowners and sell them electricity under long-term contracts. We are the leader in our field, having more than double the market share of our closest competitor. We are looking for high performers to join our team and help us scale as we continue to grow across thousands of households in over ten states.
The Team
The Fleet Operations Department operates and maintains the largest fleet of residential solar PV projects in the country. We are responsible for all projects after they are turned on. Our goal is to maximize customer satisfaction, financial performance, and resource efficiency. We preemptively reduce service incidents by ensuring all systems are built in accordance with industry leading quality best practices and utilize reliable equipment from stable manufacturers. After each system is placed into service, we orchestrate the reliable collection of data, monitor performance trends, and manage field service activity.
