Residential Project Manager

At Ecotech Solar, we believe in doing right by people—our customers, our coworkers, and our community. We’re on a mission to deliver “good energy” and are looking for a leader who thrives on seamless coordination, collaborative teamwork, and delivering on commitments we make to our customers.

The Residential Project Manager functions as the “hub of the wheel” for our residential pipeline. You are the critical interface between our Sales and Design teams and the Field crews who bring those visions to life.
