Data Entry Operator (Remote)

Bala Energy LLC is a renewable energy development and consulting company focused on commercial, industrial and community solar. We take projects from the first site evaluation through financing, engineering, construction and utility interconnection, and every stage produces information that has to be right.

As our Data Entry Operator, you will be the person who makes that information dependable. You will enter, check and organize project, site, utility and financial records so that our development, engineering, finance and project delivery teams can find what they need and trust it when they do.

This is a remote role within a small team. You will work directly with the people who run our projects, and the quality of your work will show in everything we send to property owners, utilities and partners.

09:00 · The work

What you will do

  • Enter and update project, site, customer and utility information in our spreadsheets and records, accurately and on schedule.
  • Transfer data from source documents, such as utility bills, proposals, contracts, permits, interconnection paperwork and equipment or supplier records, into clear, consistent formats.
  • Check entries against the source, and catch duplicates, gaps and inconsistencies before they spread.
  • Flag anything that does not add up to the right person, with a short note on what you found.
  • Keep project documents named, filed and version-controlled using a consistent structure.
  • Build and maintain trackers and simple reports that the development, engineering, finance and delivery teams rely on.
  • Prepare organized document sets for applications and submissions, including incentive and grant applications.
  • Handle confidential client and business information with care, following our data-handling practices.
  • Meet agreed accuracy and turnaround targets, and tell us early when a deadline is at risk.

What good looks like

  • Accuracy: entries match the source document the first time.
  • Completeness: no blank fields that should have been filled, and no missing attachments.
  • Timeliness: records are updated promptly when new information arrives.
  • Communication: questions are asked early, in clear written English.

12:00 · You

What you bring

  • Experience in data entry, administrative support, bookkeeping support or records management.
  • Fast, accurate typing and a strong eye for detail, including the discipline to double-check your own work.
  • Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets: sorting, filtering, basic formulas and lookups.
  • Comfort with email, PDFs, Word documents and cloud file storage.
  • Clear written English for notes, questions and status updates.
  • Dependability: you can work independently, manage your own time and meet deadlines without close supervision.
  • Discretion with confidential information.
  • A reliable computer, a stable high-speed internet connection and a quiet place to work.

Helpful, but not required

  • Experience with solar, renewable energy, construction, utilities, real estate or engineering documents.
  • Experience with CRM, project tracking or accounting software.
  • Intermediate spreadsheet skills, such as pivot tables and data validation.
  • Experience preparing grant, incentive or utility application paperwork.
  • Familiarity with document scanning and OCR tools.
