Full job description

Customer Success Specialist

New Orleans, LA (hybrid) · Full-time, hourly

About the role

Solar Alternatives has been designing, installing and servicing solar, battery backup and EV charging systems across the Gulf South for more than a decade. As a Customer Success Specialist, you're the first voice our customers hear. You'll handle inbound calls from start to finish: booking appointments, scheduling service, giving project updates and fixing simple system issues over the phone. You're trusted to solve problems, not just take messages.

Responsibilities

  • Answer inbound calls, texts and emails, and resolve them on first contact whenever possible

  • Book sales appointments for new solar, battery and EV inquiries

  • Take new service requests: gather system details, photos and symptoms, then book the visit

  • Pre-schedule service and warranty work: confirm the issue, coverage, equipment and access so the visit is ready to go

  • Give customers clear, proactive updates on projects (permitting, utility interconnection, installation) and service tickets

  • Walk customers through basic troubleshooting before a truck rolls, such as Wi-Fi/monitoring reconnects, system reboots, breaker and disconnect checks, and app alerts

  • Run our production warranty process: pull monitoring data, compare it to expected production, document the claim and escalate when needed

  • Keep accurate records in our CRM and field-service software

  • Hand off complex technical, billing or sales issues to the right team with complete notes

  • Follow up on open issues until they're resolved, and spot service or upgrade opportunities

Requirements

  • Excellent communication skills: patient, friendly and confident on the phone (retail or call center experience a PLUS)

  • Customer service, call center or dispatch experience helpful (this is an inbound role)

  • Organized and detail-minded with calls, texts and email

  • Enjoy troubleshooting and solving common problems on the first call

  • Keep project and service data organized and updated in our CRM and field-service tools

  • Own the customer's issue from first call through resolution and follow-up

  • Consistent work schedule and availability

  • Stay sharp, professional and bright-eyed with every customer

Preferred

  • Experience in solar, electrical, HVAC, home services or utilities

  • Familiarity with Salesforce, FieldPulse or similar tools

  • Bilingual English/Spanish

Benefits

  • $18–25/hr, depending on experience

  • Opportunity for commission and bonus $5000-10000/yr

  • Advanced product, systems and troubleshooting training to ensure success

  • A clear path into service coordination and operations

  • Two weeks paid leave, plus 7 bank holidays

  • Use of professional company tools, including a customized CRM and VOIP system

  • The peace of mind that comes with supporting only best-in-class products, installation and services

  • Health insurance, vision and dental benefits standard

  • 401K with company match
