• Conduct site visits and initial feasibility studies for potential clients.
• Negotiate with potential subcontractors and suppliers in accordance with Group policies and purchasing teams.
• Report the commercial activity to the Managing Director and participate in the development of the local Solar activity with market perspectives, M&A objectives and organisational recommendations, etc.
• Maintain CRM with precise information on current deals.
• Be the main interface with TSG Group Solar Manager to communicate achievements, best practices, innovations, potential suppliers, M&A objectives, etc.

• Stay informed of the local environment linked to B2B Solar activities (incentives, permits, injection rules, etc.) and monitor changes.
• Identify and participate in professional associations related to solar, as well as conferences or trade shows.
• Investigate local solar market news and TSG Solar competitors.
• Be a key stakeholder in the company's HSE policy, particularly related to PV installation and maintenance.

• Professional background in the solar photovoltaic sector is a must, with specific customer facing experience in project sales (solar EPC on roof, ground and carport) with commercials, industries and solar developers.
• Ideally you will possess a level of knowledge and skill typically acquired through a Master's degree in engineering or equivalent, however non-academic, qualified through demonstrated experience will also hold you in good stead.
• You'll have experience in maintaining functional specifications, commissioning checklists and standard operating practices for solar projects.
• Knowledge of UK electrical standards, renewable energy regulations and building codes.
• Good knowledge and experience of software specific to solar (such as PVSyst, Meteonorm, SolarGIS, Helioscope, Archelios).
