Elite Renewables is one of the South East's leading installers of heat pumps, solar PV, battery storage, MVHR and cooling systems. We're known for the quality of our design, the depth of our technical expertise, and the calibre of our installations - from premium residential retrofits and luxury new builds to schools and public buildings.
We're growing, and we're looking for a Technical Sales Engineer to help us serve more clients with the level of knowledge and experience that we’re known for.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for the full sales cycle - from first conversation through to signed contract. You’ll work with homeowners, architects, developers, and main contractors on projects ranging from £20,000 residential systems through to £500,000+ commercial and high-end residential installations.
What you’ll be doing day to day:
- Building relationships with architects, developers, and consultants who have ongoing project pipelines
- Responding to inbound enquiries quickly and converting them into opportunities, recommending the right solutions for their project
- Conducting site surveys, producing estimates and technical specifications
- Producing proposals that win on technical quality, not just price
- Working with our design and installation teams to deliver projects that customers refer their friends to
What we’re looking for:
You're either currently working in renewables sales, technical pre-sales, or design - or you've come from a closely adjacent field (heating engineering, M&E consultancy, building services) and want to move into a sales-focused role.
The right person will have:
- Strong technical knowledge of: heat pumps (air source and ground source), solar PV and battery storage systems, air filtration (MVHR) and air-conditioning systems.
- Experience selling, specifying, or designing residential or commercial renewable energy systems
- The credibility to hold a technical conversation with an architect or building services consultant
- A track record of converting opportunities, ideally with examples of projects above £50,000
- The discipline to respond to leads fast, follow up properly, and close
You don't need to be a ‘sales-y’ salesperson, as that’s not our style. You need to be someone who customers trust because you’re passionate about renewables and actually understand what you're talking about. Clients choose Elite because we love renewables and they trust us to make the right recommendation, not because we come across like salespeople.
What we offer:
- Base salary £30,000 - £50,000 depending on experience
- Commission structure that rewards consistent delivery, with realistic OTE of £45-£70k
- Access to company salary sacrifice EV scheme
- A high-calibre team that includes some of the most experienced renewables engineers in the South East
- Some of the most exciting projects in the industry!
The wider opportunity:
This isn't just another sales role. Elite is part of a growing group, and we're investing in becoming the go-to renewables installer for high-end residential new builds, major renovations, and complex commercial projects across London and the South East. The right person could grow into a senior commercial role as the business expands.
