Technical Sales Representative - Hiko HVAC & Solar

Job Description

B2C and B2B sales role delivering HVAC and SOLAR solutions for Hiko Electrical Services valued clients in the Bay of Plenty and beyond. TECHNICAL SALES REPRESENTATIVE - HVAC & SOLAR

Hiko Electrical Services Ltd

Papamoa, Tauranga | Bay of Plenty

Full Time | Permanent

LOVE SALES? KNOW YOUR HVAC & SOLAR? LET'S TALK.

Hiko Electrical Services is growing, and we're looking for a Technical Sales Representative to join our team and help drive the continued growth of our HVAC and Solar business.

This is a B2C and B2B, customer-facing sales role, working directly with homeowners and commercial Project Managers to understand their needs and recommend practical, cost-effective solutions for their homes or businesses.

We're looking for someone who can combine technical understanding with genuine sales ability - someone who can build trust, explain options clearly, and take ownership of the customer journey from the initial enquiry through to signed quote and project handover.

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

• Responding quickly to new enquiries and qualifying opportunities
• Meeting customers at their homes and businesses and understanding their energy and climate-control needs
• Conducting site visits and gathering the information required for accurate solutions and quotes
• Recommending suitable HVAC and/or Solar solutions
• Explaining technical options, benefits and potential cost savings in simple, practical terms
• Preparing estimates and quotes
• Following up opportunities and managing your sales pipeline
• Building strong relationships and confidently closing sales
• Working closely with the design and installation teams to ensure a smooth project handover
• Keeping customers informed throughout the process
• Achieving agreed sales and revenue targets

HVAC and/or Solar industry knowledge would be a significant advantage, but we're also interested in strong salespeople from related technical or trades backgrounds who can learn the products and systems.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL:

• Previous sales experience, ideally in a technical, electrical, construction, HVAC or solar environment (though this can be trained for the right person)
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• The ability to explain technical information without making it complicated
• A natural ability to build trust with homeowners
• Strong follow-up and negotiation skills
• Excellent organisation and time management
• Confidence working independently and managing your own pipeline
• A results-driven approach and motivation to earn through performance
• A professional presentation and customer-focused attitude
• A full NZ driver's licence

IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MAKING THE SALE:

At Hiko, we're building a business based on doing what we say we'll do and looking after our customers properly.

That means we're not looking for someone who simply wants to get a signature on a contract and move on to the next lead. You'll be representing Hiko in customers' homes and businesses, so trust, professionalism, speed of response, and good communication are critical.

You'll need to be someone who follows up when you say you will, keeps customers informed, and works with the operations team to make sure what has been sold can actually be delivered.

WHY HIKO?

Hiko Electrical Services is a locally owned and operated Bay of Plenty business with an established team across Electrical, Solar and HVAC. We're growing, we're ambitious, and we're building a team of good people who take pride in what they do.

WHAT YOU'LL GET:

• The opportunity to build and grow the B2C & B2B HVAC & Solar sales function
• Generous Base salary + commission and unlimited earning potential
• Company Vehicle + Phone plan + Laptop
• A strong pipeline of work
• Quality products and services to sell
• Backing from experienced electrical, HVAC, and Solar teams
• A down-to-earth, supportive team environment
• Real earning potential for someone good at what they do

READY TO MAKE YOUR MARK?

If you're a confident salesperson who understands technical products, loves dealing with customers and wants the opportunity to build a successful career in the growing HVAC and Solar sector, we'd like to hear from you.

If you're already selling HVAC or Solar - great.

If you're a strong salesperson from an electrical, building, construction, or other technical environment and have the drive to learn, we'd like to talk to you too.

Please note: Only NZ-based candidates with current NZ work rights will be considered.
