Life at AC Direct Energy
A day at AC Direct Energy is a blend of ambitious strategy and focused execution. It starts with a team huddle, reviewing dashboards to proactively identify a system issue before a customer even notices.
A developer might be refining a Python script, while a procurement manager is negotiating with suppliers to meet the demand for our next 1000 installations.
Our project coordinators are orchestrating a complex dance between our vetted installer network and our customers to ensure a seamless installation day.

Customer service
In the afternoon, you might find our marketing team storyboarding a video to explain our offering in simple terms, or our customer service team ensuring every query is resolved with speed.
Meetings are purposeful, driven by clear agendas and a focus on unblocking challenges. We are building and growing, meticulously documenting our quality control standards and refining our training manuals.
It's fast-paced, challenging, and incredibly rewarding, because every task, every workflow, every line of code, and every system design is directly connected to bringing affordable, reliable power to our customers.
