Gaps
- No real gaps on competency — Jeff exceeds every requirement. The gap is the opposite: he is vastly over-qualified for a coordinator-level role requiring 3-7 years.

Level detected: Mid-level coordinator (3-7 years) Candidate's natural level: Director/VP
Jeff is overqualified by 20+ years of experience. This role would be a significant step down in scope, responsibility, and compensation.
Recommendation: Do not apply. Hard DQ on compensation ($95K-$115K is well below the $150K floor) and severely under-leveled.

| Source | Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Advertised (JD) | $95,000 - $115,000/yr | JD |
Company type: Enterprise / traditional corporate — Medium confidence. QE Solar is one of the nation's largest independent solar O&M providers, 15 years operating, managing 10 GW.
Compensation reliability: Medium — range is stated clearly as base salary for a coordinator role. Consistent with market for this level.
HARD FAIL: $115K ceiling is $35K below Jeff's $150K hard floor. Even at the top of the range, this is a 36% discount from his minimum. The benefits are solid (100% paid employee health premiums, PTO, retirement) but do not compensate for the base gap.

Assessment: High Confidence
| Signal | Finding | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Company reputation | QE Solar — established 15-year solar O&M provider, 10 GW managed, 44 states | Positive |
| Description quality | Specific responsibilities, clear scope, realistic requirements | Positive |
| Compensation stated | Clear range with benefits | Positive |
| Benefits | Comprehensive — 100% paid health premiums, PTO, retirement, holidays | Positive |
| Role clarity | Well-defined coordinator role with clear success metrics | Positive |
Context Notes: This is a legitimate posting from an established solar O&M company. The role is well-defined and the company is reputable. The issue is purely fit — the role is under-leveled and under-compensated for Jeff's profile.

Recommendation: Do not apply. Score 2.0/5. Hard DQ: compensation ceiling ($115K) is $35K below the $150K hard floor. Role is severely under-leveled (3-7 years vs. 30+ years experience). While the solar/BESS domain is a strong match, this would be a major step backward in both scope and compensation.
Note: QE Solar could be worth watching for Director/VP-level openings. The company manages 10 GW of solar and 7.5 GWh of BESS — if they post a Director of Project Management or VP Operations role, that would be a strong fit.
