Operations Manager (Pipeline)
Tron Solar is one of the fastest-growing solar companies in the Midwest. We are built different. Built on grit. Built on performance. Built on people. We are looking for an Operations Manager who wants to take ownership of the entire front-end pipeline, from signed contract through permitting, and make it better every single day.
You will lead the teams that handle deal processing, site surveys, engineering, CADs, and permitting. Your job is to bring structure, increase speed, reduce errors, and get jobs to install faster.

•Managing the pipeline process from signed contracts to permits
•Leading and developing teams across multiple departments
•Creating and improving systems to eliminate bottlenecks
•Working directly with Sales, Project Management, Design, Construction, and Executives
•Collaborating with the Construction Manager to drive projects from permit to PTO

Who we are looking for:

•Someone who thrives in fast-paced environments
•Detail-oriented and process-driven
•Clear communicator who knows how to lead people
•Experience in solar, construction, or operations preferred but not required
