Description

POSITION DESCRIPTION :

Qcells Service Solutions(‘QSS’) is a residential solar asset operation and maintenance service company powered by Qcells. QSS set up a design standard and installation guide for EnFin TPO and provide a specialized Quality assurance review service. QSS monitors all assets proactively to resolve any issue, so that maximizes homeowner experience and capital investor’s value.

The QSS Disaster Recovery & Insurance Claim Manager is responsible for leading all aspects of disaster response, damage assessment, insurance claim management, and restoration coordination for the company’s distributed solar asset portfolio. This role ensures timely and effective recovery of affected systems, minimizes downtime, maximizes claim recoveries, and maintains strong relationships with insurance carriers, adjusters, restoration vendors, and internal stakeholders. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in property insurance, customer communication, claim process, with proven experience in the solar, utilities, or related industries.

Third-Party Ownership (TPO) represents one of the fastest-growing segments of the solar industry, driven by rising interest rates and the Inflation Reduction Act. Qcells is strategically positioned to capitalize on this opportunity through its domestic content tax credit advantages, strong dealer relationships, and robust point-of-sale financing platform.

This position reports to the Head of QSS Post-PTO and Services, or other personnel designated by the President of the Company.

• Lead post-incident root cause analyses and implement mitigation measures.
