Haven
Haven is on a mission to bring energy independence to homeowners, starting with the adoption of home solar and battery systems. We believe that widespread, distributed solar and storage will be a key part of our energy future, helping stabilize the electric grid in the face of increasing climate change-induced weather events, an aging transmission and distribution infrastructure and increased electric loads due to home electrification.
Haven guides homeowners through the selection, quoting, financing and scheduling of a home solar or battery system, and we pair homeowners with vetted, qualified electricians to perform the installation. We offer a phenomenal experience for both the homeowners and the installers, as both are key to our long term success.
Summary of Role
Haven is looking to hire a Project Manager for the California market. In this role, you’ll take ownership for the installation side of the business and for improving the operational model for your region.
