Job Description

About the Role

Purpose of the Role Identify and win new business by understanding customers' energy challenges and selling appropriate project solutions. This is an active, customer-facing sales role requiring commercial ability and practical technical understanding, with a focus on complete energy solutions rather than individual product sales.

Responsibilities

  • Identify and develop new opportunities across agriculture, mining, manufacturing and other energy-intensive sectors.
  • Understand customers' electricity costs, power-quality challenges and infrastructure requirements.
  • Work with client's technical and project teams to develop suitable solar and battery storage solutions.
  • Present project solutions and funding options, including power purchase agreements (PPAs), and convert opportunities into sales.
  • Build trusted customer relationships and coordinate internal support, maintaining client's role as a single point of accountability.

Qualifications

  • An engineering qualification is not essential.

Required Skills

  • Approximately four to five years of relevant energy-industry sales experience, with flexibility based on proven capability.
  • Practical electrical knowledge and an understanding of how energy solutions address customer costs and operational challenges.
  • The ability to generate new business and sell directly to end customers; experience in one or more target sectors is valuable.
  • A self-starting, customer-focused approach and confidence discussing technical solutions.
