About Near
At Near, we connect top talent in Latin America with remote opportunities at U.S.-based companies. Our mission is to create better lives by building a remote work culture that transcends borders and unlocks global opportunities.
About the Client
We’re hiring on behalf of a leading U.S. solar company, recognized for its innovation, high quality standards, and long-term customer relationships.
Are you an engineer who found out you’re great with people?
We’re looking for engineers who have moved into sales, account management, customer success, or retention roles, and who want a position where both sides of their profile matter.
About the Role
You’ll own the path from signed contract to approved installation: permits, HOA approvals, and utility interconnection applications. Your engineering background lets you understand the technical side of solar projects and talk confidently with agencies and utilities. Your sales and retention experience helps you keep customers informed, confident, and committed while their project moves through approvals, a stage where delays can put deals at risk.
The role starts with AHJ Coordinator responsibilities and is designed for someone who wants to grow into leadership. Strong performers may advance into an AHJ Team Lead role.
What You’ll Do
Process and track permits, HOA approvals, and interconnection applications, catching technical issues before they become delays
Communicate proactively with municipalities, HOAs, and utilities
Keep customers updated and engaged throughout the approval process, handling concerns before they turn into cancellations
Partner with sales representatives to protect closed deals and support a smooth handoff to installation
Troubleshoot technical questions about system design, documentation, and requirements
What We’re Looking For
Degree or background in engineering (electrical, mechanical, industrial, civil, energy, or related)
Experience in sales, account management, customer success, or customer retention
Excellent written English and strong communication skills
High attention to detail and comfort managing many cases at once
Ability to learn new tools and processes quickly
Nice to Have
Experience in solar, energy, construction, or utilities
Familiarity with permitting or regulatory processes
Experience with CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.)
Perks
Compensation: USD
3 weeks of PTO + U.S. holidays off
100% remote contractor role
Clear growth path toward a Team Lead position
Work with a U.S. leader in clean energy
