Job description

About the opportunity

Is your greatest asset the network you've spent years building?

Perhaps you've been selling automation solutions, industrial equipment, electrical products, HVAC systems, engineering services or capital equipment into manufacturing, mining, commercial or agricultural businesses.

You know the decision-makers. You understand their operations. You've built trusted relationships with Plant Managers, Engineering Managers, Operations Directors and business owners.

Now imagine helping those same customers solve one of their biggest business challenges: rising electricity costs and unreliable power.

If you've ever thought about moving into renewable energy, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Is this you? You're a natural hunter who enjoys opening new doors and winning new business. You don't wait for opportunities to come to you - you create them.

Your network includes businesses with high electricity consumption, where conversations around rising energy costs, operational downtime and reducing dependence on Eskom are becoming increasingly common.

You're looking for something more meaningful to sell, and you'd like to use the relationships you've spent years building to make a genuine impact.

What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it) Joining one of South Africa's leading renewable energy investment businesses, you'll introduce commercial and industrial customers to funded solar and battery storage solutions that help reduce electricity costs, improve energy reliability and future-proof their operations.

You'll focus on building relationships, opening new doors and developing opportunities. The technical, engineering and commercial specialists will support you with solution design, project development and delivery, allowing you to concentrate on what you do best: selling.

Where you’ll be doing it You'll join a growing renewable energy investment company that develops funded commercial solar and battery storage solutions for businesses across South Africa. With dedicated engineering, commercial and project development teams supporting every opportunity, you'll have everything you need to turn relationships into long-term partnerships.

What you’ll need We're looking for someone who has:

• At least five years' experience in technical B2B sales.


• A proven track record of winning new business and an established network within manufacturing, mining, industrial, commercial or agricultural sectors.


• Experience selling technical products, industrial equipment, engineering services or other complex solutions to senior decision-makers.

Previous renewable energy experience is advantageous, but certainly not essential. If you know the customers and have the ability to open doors, the product can be taught.

What you’ll get This is an opportunity to join one of South Africa's leading renewable energy investment businesses at a time when demand for reliable, cost-effective energy solutions has never been greater.

Rather than selling a piece of equipment, you'll be helping businesses reduce operating costs, improve energy security and become less dependent on Eskom. You'll be backed by an experienced team of engineers, commercial specialists and project developers, allowing you to focus on what you do best: building relationships and winning new business.

A competitive salary, an attractive incentive structure and the opportunity to build a long-term career in one of South Africa's fastest-growing industries complete the package.
