Solar Utility Administrator - PV Incentives
Asset Management
The Utility Administrator (Rebates and Incentives) will be responsible for processing and securing utility rebates and other incentives for each allocated project. This requires coordination with a broad audience, including customers, public utility companies, external administering bodies, and internal stakeholder groups such as Solar Consultants, Engineers and Project Managers.
Ensuring that the rebate is secured requires a significant amount of paperwork, retrieval and coordination of information, relationship management, awareness and tracking of deadlines and milestones, and attention to detail.
Employees who are successful in this role are proactive, curious, ask questions, use common sense, exist on the extreme end of the organizational spectrum, enjoy paperwork and filing, get a great amount of job satisfaction from submitting applications without any errors, take pride of ownership over the quality and accuracy of their work, pay attention to detail, and notice things no one else would. It also helps if you can get along with a bunch of similarly minded people, pull your own weight and help out when needed. Responsibilities
- Coordinate with utility companies on filing rebates and incentive requests, and ensuring compliance with all relevant guidelines and agreements.
- Liaise with solar sales representatives and utility companies to determine the optimal rebate amount for processing.

- Manage incentive claims requests for rebates.

- Maintain filing/document management system for electronic and paper documents.
