Technical Sales Manager Distribution - UK & Ireland in Milton Keynes

Your mission

Hello and welcome!

We are absolutely thrilled you are taking a look at this one - because this is not your average sales role.

At Sungrow, one of the world's leading clean energy technology companies, we are on the lookout for a sharp, driven, and highly connected Specification Sales professional to join our UK & Ireland team on a part-time basis .

If you know how to open doors with architects, navigate procurement frameworks, and turn a specification into a signed project - keep reading, this role was written for you:

• Drive specification sales across the UK, engaging architects, energy consultants, housing and local authorities, insurance bodies, and fire compliance stakeholders to position Sungrow's portfolio at the heart of major projects.
• Own the full sales cycle from specification to installation - managing your top 50 active projects at any one time, with a strong focus on generating and breaking specifications from cradle to grave.
• Develop and deliver CPD sessions for architects, procurement frameworks, housing and local authorities, fire and insurance professionals - building Sungrow's credibility and visibility in the sptfolio at the heart of major projects.
• Develop and deliver CPD sessions for architects, procurement frameworks, housing and local authorities, fire and insurance professionals - building Sungrow's credibility and visibility in the specification space.
• Collaborate closely with Channel Managers and Business Development colleagues, sharing and receiving leads to ensure the right opportunities land with the right people.
• Maintain a rigorous and up-to-date CRM pipeline, leveraging tools such as Glenigan and Barbour BI alongside procurement frameworks to fuel lead generation and project tracking.
• Contribute to a strong team culture built on collaboration, transparency, and shared targets – providing bi-weekly updates to the Country Manager and staying closely aligned with the wider sales team.

Your profile

Right, now that you have a feel for the mission – let's talk about what makes the ideal candidate for this role.

• If your background looks anything like the below, we would love to hear from you:
• A proven track record in specification sales
• experience with architects, M&E contractors, local or housing authorities, procurement frameworks, or fire and insurance compliance environments is highly valued.
• A natural 'hunter' mentality – you are proactive, self‑motivated, and energized by identifying and converting new business opportunities.
• Strong presentation and communication skills – you are as comfortable delivering a CPD to a room of architects as you are writing a concise update for senior leadership.
• Experience in the solar, renewables, or broader energy sector is a genuine advantage, though not a strict requirement – specification sales expertise takes priority.
• Familiarity with CRM tools and lead generation platforms (Glenigan, Barbour BI, or similar) to manage a structured and data‑driven pipeline.
• A collaborative team player who understands the value of sharing leads, aligning with colleagues, and contributing to a unified sales culture.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and maintain focus on what matters most.

Not every box needs to be ticked – if you bring strong specification sales skills and a passion for clean energy, we want to talk.
