- Familiarity with solar design software (e.g., [Aurora Solar, Helioscope, AutoCAD, or similar])
- Understanding of the permitting and interconnection process for residential/commercial solar
- Fluent English (spoken and written) required — you'll be coordinating directly with U.S. customers, inspectors, and utilities
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

- Knowledge of NEC and local U.S. building codes a plus
