The Opportunity

Following continued growth within the Electric Vehicle Charging sector, Zap Vehicle Charging Ltd is looking for an ambitious, commercially driven and technically capable individual to join our expanding team.

This is a varied position combining commercial sales, self-generated business development, technical support, customer onboarding, digital marketing and database management.

Importantly, this is not simply a technical support role or an order-taking sales position.

We want someone who will actively identify, approach and win new commercial EV charging customers.

The potential market is enormous.

Almost any UK business or organisation with a car park or off-street parking is a potential prospect for EV charging.

This includes offices, factories, warehouses, schools, colleges, hotels, retail premises, dealerships, gyms, leisure centres, healthcare facilities, property companies, fleet operators and many more.

If you can identify a business with a car park, you have identified a potential conversation.

Salary & Earning Potential

£30,000 Basic Salary + Genuine OTE £60,000+

Your basic salary will be £30,000 per annum, paid monthly.

In addition, the position offers a substantial performance-related package designed to reward both sales success and technical performance.

Commercial Sales Bonus

Achieve a minimum of £20,000 qualifying net profit per month from commercial and school project sales and receive a:

£1,000 monthly bonus.

Uncapped Sales Commission

Once you exceed the £20,000 monthly net-profit target, you will additionally receive:

• £1,000 target bonus
• £1,000 commission on the £10,000 above target
• £2,000 additional earnings for that month, on top of your basic salary

Commission is normally paid following completion of the qualifying installation.

Based on the overall reward structure, genuine OTE is approximately £60,000+ per annum, with the opportunity for strong performers to earn more.

Technical Support Reward

You can also receive:

£100 for every qualifying school you personally set up and bring fully operational on the TAP management system.

Expected volumes are approximately 10-15 schools per month, potentially providing an additional £1,000-£1,500 per month when those volumes are achieved.

Self-Generated Commercial Sales

A major part of this position is generating your own commercial opportunities.

ZAP will provide company-generated leads and opportunities, but we also expect you to actively build your own pipeline rather than relying solely on incoming enquiries.

Responsibilities include:

• Identifying UK businesses with suitable parking
• Building your own prospect pipeline
• Telephone and email prospecting
• Identifying and contacting business decision-makers
• Using online research and social media to find opportunities
• Conducting targeted email campaigns and mailshots

There are 50 potential conversations here.

OZEV Grants - Helping Customers Reduce Installation Costs

You will be trained to identify potential eligibility and explain how available funding may help reduce the customer's investment.

Full training will be provided on relevant OZEV schemes, EV charging products, eligibility requirements and processes.

You don't need to arrive as an EV charging expert. We can teach you the industry. We need you to bring the drive and confidence to create opportunities.

Responsibilities include:

• Connecting EV chargers to online back-office systems

• Keeping customer and prospect databases accurate and up to date
• Researching and adding appropriate commercial prospects
• Segmenting databases for targeted campaigns
• Conducting company mailshots
• Supporting email and social media campaigns
• Providing first-response communication to new enquiries
• Ensuring leads are recorded and followed up

We Want an Opportunity Creator

We aren't looking for somebody who simply waits for the telephone to ring.

We want someone who can drive through a business park and see potential customers; identify a hotel, office, factory or school with a car park and see an opportunity; start the conversation, understand the customer's requirements, explain the potential funding available and turn that opportunity into an installation.

Find the opportunity. Start the conversation. Build the relationship. Win the business.
