This role is designed for an experienced sales consultant who enjoys working with warm leads, takes initiative to go the extra mile to close deals, and thrives in a mid-length sales cycle environment. It’s ideal for someone who is proactive, resilient, and motivated by building meaningful client relationships.

We're a leader in designing and building solar and energy storage projects across Canada. We work on residential, commercial, off-grid, and on-grid projects, offering comprehensive solar and energy storage solutions tailored to diverse energy needs.

Headquartered in Victoria, BC, we operate in five provinces: British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. Our mission is to deliver exceptional, sustainable energy solutions that drive positive change and move the industry forward.

About the Role

As an Inside Solar Sales Consultant, your focus will be on educating clients, building relationships, and closing sales. You'll work with warm leads generated by our in-house marketing team.

You’ll be leading the Kelowna market — someone the national sales team can rely on to lead and conquer the Kelowna and Okanagan region. You will be responsible for managing your own pipeline, handling outbound follow-ups, and guiding clients from initial inquiry to signed agreement.

Key Responsibilities:

• Schedule in-house consultations from internal leads
• Engage in outbound communication with potential clients and leads via email and phone
• Work independently in your designated market and maintain motivation with minimal supervision
• Use persuasive communication skills and tools virtually and in-person to close sales
• Attend sales meetings and actively contribute to team discussions and strategies
• Work flexible hours, including evenings and weekends, to align with our clients' availability
• Utilize various online tools and software for processing information
• Keep up to date with market trends and continuously learn about our products and services
• Report directly to the Sales Manager

What We’re Looking For

• 2–3 years of experience in sales or commission-based roles is required, with a preference for experience in B2C sales and renewable resources sector
• Experience working in mid-to-long sales cycles, with the patience and persistence to nurture leads over time
• Confident communicator — both written and verbal — with the ability to delegate and coordinate effectively across teams when needed
• Highly motivated, resilient, and able to work independently without daily oversight
• Valid Class 5 Driver’s License and a clean driving record

Working Conditions:

• This semi-remote position involves regular travel within the region, including visits to client sites and potential sales locations, which may be local or occasionally farther away
• The role includes working in diverse settings such as trade shows and community events
• Working hours are flexible; while there may be regular office hours, evening or weekend work is often required to meet with clients or attend events

We Offer:

• Base salary and commission with monthly bonus opportunities
• Extra commission opportunities for self-generated leads
• Potential to earn over $200,000 per year, contingent on meeting performance targets and sales goals
• Extended health, dental, and wellness benefits
• RRSP matching, paid time off, and opportunities for professional development
• Allowances for vehicle and company-provided cellphone and laptop
• An inclusive and forward-thinking team culture with annual team-building events and activities

Join us in shaping the future of the solar industry in Canada.
