Assistant Regional Operations Manager

Freedom Power • Houston, TX

5d • Onsite

About The Position

As Assistant Regional Operations Manager, you'll own the coordination, compliance, and communications layer that gets our Houston-region solar projects inspected, reconnected, and closed. Where the ROM owns the front half of a project — scheduling, homeowner authorization, getting a job install-ready — you own the back half: compliance, inspections, utility and AHJ coordination, reconnection, and keeping everyone talking to each other. You'll report directly to the ROM and step in as their backup when it counts.

Requirements

• Previous project administration or field construction experience
• Prior team lead or supervisory experience strongly preferred
• Prior solar energy experience strongly preferred
• Strong verbal and written communication skills
• Excellent organizational and time management skills — you thrive on staying ahead of a fast-paced schedule
• Strong computer skills, including MS Word, Excel, and Outlook
• Ability to juggle multiple priorities without dropping the details
• Valid driver's license and the ability to meet motor vehicle requirements

Responsibilities

• Own inspection scheduling — shutdown, utility, city/AHJ, and meter-release inspections.
• Serve as the primary point of contact with utility companies and jurisdictions for shutdowns, inspections, and reconnection.
• Schedule subcontractor crews and coordinate their dates against the overall install schedule.
• Make sure every crew Job Packet is accurate before it hits the field.
• Manage local installer payroll audits and payroll app acceptance and accuracy.
• Process installation reporting, and upload photos and documents into customer files.
• Manage the solar installation workflow for the Houston region.
• Initiate inspection processes and work directly with the Inspections Coordinator.
• Manage customer accounts in Project Sunrise from installation through project completion.
• Own regional communications — keeping the ROM, crews, and subcontractors aligned on schedules, status, and blockers.
• Partner closely with the ROM and HR on employee relations issues.
• Back up the ROM as needed, stepping into front-half responsibilities when required.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 100% Company-Sponsored Short-Term Disability
• 401(k) Employer Matching
• Weekly Pay Dates
• 3 Weeks PTO + 3 Sick Days
• 12 Paid Holidays + 1 Floating Holiday
• Real upward mobility — a clear path toward Regional Operations Manager and beyond
