Data Gathering Specialist

Our client is a fast-growing residential solar and roofing company in the US Northeast. Before a sales conversation ever happens, and long before a technician is dispatched to anyone's house, somebody has to answer one deceptively simple question about a property: which way does the roof face? South-facing roofs are where residential solar works best, and the list of south-facing homes is the list that everything downstream runs on.

Building that list is your job. You will work through assigned geographic areas and target lists property by property, using Google Maps, Google Earth, satellite and street imagery, listing platforms and public property records to confirm roof orientation and capture the data points the team needs. Then you deliver it in a clean, standardized format the next person can pick up and use immediately, with no cleanup.

We want to be straight with you about two things. First, this is high-volume work, and the volume is real. Second, nobody will be watching your screen. A property you verified and a property you guessed at look exactly the same in a spreadsheet, and the difference only surfaces weeks later, when someone drives out to a house that was never a fit. That is why this role goes to someone methodical rather than someone merely fast, and why what we care about most is how you handle the properties where the image is not clear enough to be sure.
Key Responsibilities
Property Research & Identification

- Search for and identify residential properties with south-facing roof orientation using Google Maps, Google Earth, satellite imagery tools, and property research platforms

- Confirm roof orientation and relevant property characteristics by cross-referencing satellite view, street view, and available listing data

- Work through assigned geographic areas and target lists systematically, so coverage is complete rather than selective

- Flag properties that meet the defined criteria and exclude those that do not, holding the same standard from the first record to the last

Data Collection & Entry

- Collect the required property information, including address, owner details where publicly available, roof orientation, property type, and any other data points the team specifies

- Enter all gathered data accurately into the designated spreadsheets, CRM, or tracking systems provided by the team

- Maintain consistent formatting and data standards across every entry, so the output is clean and immediately usable

- Meet daily and weekly data volume targets without trading away accuracy to reach them

Data Quality & Verification

- Self-review your entries before submission, and correct what you find

- Raise ambiguous or unclear property situations for supervisor review rather than resolving them by assumption

- Maintain a low error rate and take ownership of data quality across all assigned work

Reporting & Handoff

- Deliver completed data sets to the team on schedule and in the required format

- Communicate progress and raise delays, blockers, or data gaps early, while there is still time to act on them

- Organize and label files clearly, so handoffs are seamless and require no additional cleanup

Tools & Software

- Google Maps and Google Earth — primary tools for roof orientation and satellite research

- Zillow, Redfin, or similar property listing platforms — for property detail verification

- County assessor records and public property databases — for ownership and address data

- Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets — for data entry, organization, and delivery

- CRM or project management platform as assigned — for tracking and submission

- Microsoft Teams and OneDrive — for team communication and file handoff; Hubstaff for time tracking

Requirements

- Strong attention to detail. Data accuracy is the single most important measure of success in this role

- Comfortable conducting high-volume online research efficiently and consistently across a full shift

- Proficient in Google Shee
