Job Description
Nonprofit Project Manager
The nonprofit OC Goes Solar has a job opening for a Project Manager to become an integral part of our team!

A person with substantive experience working in nonprofits, government, or the like in support of community outreach and project management would be ideal. That said, we welcome candidates of diverse backgrounds and experience to apply.
