About the Role
As an Interconnection Coordinator, you will manage the utility-facing side of our project deployment process in Utah. You’ll be responsible for submitting interconnection applications, tracking utility approvals, and ensuring each project moves efficiently from application to permission to operate.
This role complements our Permit Coordinator, who manages building and fire department reviews. Your focus will be the utility lane — working with system documentation, interfacing with utility reviewers, and keeping the project pipeline moving. You’ll help accelerate our deployments by ensuring every application is complete, accurate, and followed through to final utility approval.
This role offers a clear growth path into utility relationship management, incentive program coordination, and market expansion strategy.
