Position Overview

An established energy solutions provider is seeking an experienced Business Developer to identify and secure new Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy projects.

The business provides integrated energy solutions combining Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and Solar PV with in-house project and EPC capability. Solutions are delivered across agricultural, mining, manufacturing and other commercial and industrial customers, supported by financing options and after-sales support.

This is an active, customer-facing sales role focused on understanding customers' energy challenges and converting these into complete energy solutions rather than individual product sales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify and develop new business opportunities across agriculture, mining, manufacturing and other energy-intensive sectors.

  • Understand customers' electricity costs, power-quality challenges and infrastructure requirements.

  • Work with technical and project teams to develop appropriate Solar PV and battery storage solutions.

  • Present project solutions and funding options, including Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and convert opportunities into sales.

  • Build trusted customer relationships and coordinate internal support throughout the sales process.

Experience & Requirements

  • Approximately 4–5 years' relevant energy-industry sales experience, with flexibility based on demonstrated capability.

  • Proven ability to generate new business and sell directly to end customers.

  • Practical electrical knowledge and an understanding of how energy solutions address customer costs and operational challenges.

  • Experience within agriculture, mining, manufacturing or other energy-intensive C&I sectors is advantageous.

  • Strong commercial capability with the confidence to discuss technical energy solutions with customers.

  • Self-motivated and customer-focused approach.

  • An engineering qualification is not essential.

Important Note

Applicants must have relevant energy-industry sales experience, practical electrical knowledge and demonstrated ability to generate new business and sell directly to end customers. This role requires a commercially driven Business Developer who can confidently discuss Solar PV and battery storage solutions and convert C&I energy opportunities into sales.
