The Transactions Paralegal will be responsible for comprehensively understanding and supporting SolAmerica’s transactions, particularly with respect to data room population, data room management, Q&A log management, closing checklist development and oversight, and ancillary document preparation.  In support of the same, the Transactions Paralegal will work seamlessly with the Development team in understanding SolAmerica’s pipeline.  The ideal candidate has already mastered data room population, data room management, Q&A log management, closing checklist development and oversight, and ancillary document preparation. 

The ideal candidate either has some experience supporting energy project development (e.g., site control, interconnection, permitting, and title), but this is not a requirement.  A candidate who does not have this development experience should demonstrate a sincere desire to quickly learn and develop proficiency in this area. 

Working at SolAmerica means being part of a mission-driven team of thoughtful people who are passionately driving the clean energy transition.   At a time when much of the industry is pulling back, we’re leaning in, pushing renewable energy projects forward with purpose, integrity, and a deep sense of responsibility.  

Inside SolAmerica, you’ll find a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment where big ideas are welcomed and ownership is encouraged. People are trusted to lead, speak up, and make things happen.  We operate with a deep sense of respect and trust: colleagues treat each other with humanity and honesty, even when things get stressful. 

Challenges here are real, often complex, and sometimes chaotic. But we face them head-on, as a team—rolling up our sleeves, stepping beyond our functional silos when needed, and celebrating the wins that move us closer to our vision.

To be part of SolAmerica is to be all-in: for our purpose, our people, and the exciting journey of building a cleaner energy future, while learning and having fun along the way.
