• Support clients with a range of funding solutions including capital purchase, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and Asset Finance options.
• Develop new business opportunities for the company's comprehensive O&M (Operations & Maintenance) service offerings, including third-party installations and portfolios.

The Ideal Candidate:

• Proven track record in selling commercial PV systems to end users, public sector clients, or within the new-build construction sector.
• Broad technical understanding of Solar PV, battery storage, and the wider UK energy market.
• Strong consultative sales skills with the ability to develop long-term client relationships and convert opportunities into sales.
• Capable of generating leads independently and maintaining/expanding existing client relationships.
• Experience engaging with a wide range of stakeholders, from Facilities Managers to CEOs.
• Familiarity with blue chip and large corporate organisations.
• Exceptional verbal communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Highly self-motivated, energetic, and results-driven.
• Solid understanding of different financial and funding models.
• Experience managing tendering processes for both private and public sector projects.
• A genuine ‘get up and go’ work ethic with a hunger to succeed.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a high-performing, forward-thinking team and play a crucial role in the UK’s energy transition.

Location: UK-wide with flexible working options available.
