About The Role

The Ecotricity Technology department is a small friendly team with a strong focus on getting results, with everyone committed to delivering both individually and as part of the group/project.

We have a strong internal team supporting and developing solutions across multiple mission critical platforms including Salesforce (Service and Sales). This hands-on role, of Salesforce Developer, is first and foremost about delivering system changes and improvements but additionally looks for your experience to help us leverage value from our Salesforce investment.

What You Will Do

You will be helping us maintain and grow our Salesforce platform, used by our internal sales & service agents, our customers through our mobile app and online account, as well as prospective customers looking to join us.

We use a variety of Salesforce services, including Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Omnistudio & Mobile Publisher.

As part of the role, you will:

• Work as part of a team of Salesforce admins/developers delivering Salesforce changes
• Work collaboratively with the Salesforce Tech Lead to develop best practice, streamline throughput, and ensure consistent high quality output.
• Provide technical input in discussions with management and stakeholders.
• Work on new functionality, changes and faults, including complicated tasks as appropriate.
• Seek day to day opportunities to upskill and cross train with your peers.
• Contribute research into new beneficial technology and process improvements.

About You

You will have considerable technical experience working with Salesforce at a developer level, including integrating with other platforms, developing custom components with user experience in mind, and all using modern deployment techniques. Knowledge of the Energy industry or Salesforce ‘Energy & Utilities Cloud’ would be a bonus, but not necessary.

You will be comfortable working with project managers and product owners, keeping stakeholders and management continually informed, presenting and demoing solutions routinely. You will have good communication skills and can adjust to type of each audience.

We will actively support you, but you should be self motivated, delivery driven, and not need to be led. You should strive for best practice and technical excellence and be a person that actively looks for continual improvement opportunities.

Knowledge and Skills

• Extensive Salesforce development experience (including Apex triggers, classes, asynchronous Apex, API Integrations, Platform Events, LWCs and Sites)
• Experience using Git and the Salesforce CLI is essential
• Experience of continuous integration is desirable
• Understanding of when to use declarative capabilities vs developed solutions
• Experience of object-oriented programming languages
• Experience of Salesforce Energy & Utilities Cloud (Vlocity) is desired (but not essential).
• Experience of working in an agile development environment and using tools such as Jira
• Excellent time management skills & ability to multitask
• Ability to work individually and as part of a team

What's in it for you...

• Healthcare plan, life assurance and generous pension contribution
• Hybrid Working
• Various company discounts (including shops, gyms, days out and events)
• Holiday of 25 days (plus bank holidays) & ability to buy/sell days
• Cycle to work scheme, car pooling and onsite parking available

As a valued member of the team, you will be supporting the Group Environmental Policy and its associated sustainability objectives and targets.

Flexibility statement

The fast moving nature of the company's business means that from time to time you may be asked to perform duties or tasks outside of your original job description on an ad hoc basis. This allows the company to use its people in the best possible way at all times and helps the employees to make their contribution in a changing environment.

Ecotricity is Britain's greenest energy company. When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity - the green kind.

Our mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain - by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.

We don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too - we build windmills, sun parks and green gasmills in Britain. We call this turning 'bills into mills'. Some of our biggest achievements to date include building Britain's first megawatt windmill and the country's first grid-scale sun park, as well as building our first green gasmill, generating 100% green gas from a source that we will never run out of grass.

We don't just focus on energy though- we built the Electric Highway, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points; we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world; and we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk, where they use the money from their customers' bills to protect and regenerate Britain's lost rainforests.

Ecotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all.
