New Business Energy Consultant (B2B) - South West Region!
Field Sales | Commercial Solar Energy | UK Field Based
£52,000–£60,000 (DOE) | Car Allowance | OTE £10,000–£15,000 year 1 / £20,000–£30,000 year 2
Outrageous growth opportunity with autonomy and huge rewards. We need a hunter to target a specific account base of installers, becoming their suppliers for all things solar. You will manage the accounts: 90% new business in year 1, evolving into 60% account management.
A well-established German solar brand with a UK operation targeting £30 million in the next five years, currently at £10 million. The gap is the opportunity.
We are hiring Sales Managers across three UK regions to help achieve this goal. There are 3 live vacancies; you can live in the South West, M4, Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, South Yorkshire, Cheshire, Staffs, East Midlands or West Midlands.
The role in a sentence: Your target customer installs 200–500 solar systems a year. Get them on board, service them well, and the account manages itself. The hard bit — and the fun bit — is the hunt: 80% new business, 10% account management, with 3-4 days on the road and 1+ day at home.
Revenue target: £3 million–£5 million per year at full pace.
What's in it for you:
- £50,000–£60,000 basic salary (negotiable)
- Car allowance (negotiable) + 25p/mile expenses
- Year 1 bonus realistically £10,000–£20,000, growing as your patch builds in year 2
- Work from home
- Full autonomy over your region — no micromanagement
- Occasional trips to European HQ for training and exhibition
What you need to be:
- Hungry
- Tenacious
- Proactive
- Five days a week field sales experience in a technical sector — energy, electrical, construction, mechanical would be a bonus
- A relationship builder
- A full UK driving licence
The Person: Join a UK team of 10, backed by a ~350-person European business with 30 years of pedigree. Premium product, strong brand, real support. You'll have visibility, influence and the chance to build something — not just fill a quota in a faceless organisation.
Regions available: South West England | East Anglia | Central England (Midlands)
