Solar Energy jobs in Standish

Spectra Solar is looking for an experienced and technically minded Renewable Energy Sales Executive to join our growing team.

The role will primarily focus on the sale of:

• Domestic Air-to-Water (ATW) Air Source Heat Pump systems
• Domestic Air-to-Air (ATA) Heat Pump / Air Conditioning systems

We are looking for someone with relevant experience within heating, air conditioning, renewable energy or a closely related technical industry who is comfortable discussing technical solutions with customers.

Knowledge and experience of Solar PV, battery storage and wider renewable technologies would be a strong advantage.

You don't need to be an expert in every technology we offer, but this is not an entry-level sales position. We are looking for someone who already understands technical sales and can quickly develop their knowledge across our complete range of systems.

About Spectra

Spectra is not a high-pressure, sales-led business.

Our sales are built around technical knowledge, honest advice and the quality of the installations we deliver.

We don't believe in selling a system simply because it's the easiest product to close. The starting point is understanding the property, what the customer wants to achieve and what will actually work.

Our customers expect us to be able to explain why a particular system has been recommended, how it will operate and what is involved in installing it.

For that reason, we're looking for someone who can combine sales ability with genuine technical understanding.

You'll work alongside experienced people from electrical, heating, air conditioning and renewable-energy backgrounds, giving you access to strong technical support when required.

The Role

This is a full-time, office-based position at our Wigan premises and is not a remote or hybrid role.

You will manage domestic enquiries from initial contact through to quotation and sale, predominantly covering Air-to-Water heat pumps and Air-to-Air / Air Conditioning systems.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing new and existing domestic sales enquiries
• Discussing heating, cooling and renewable-energy requirements with homeowners
• Understanding the customer's property and establishing their requirements
• Reviewing surveys, photographs, plans and technical information
• Discussing and recommending appropriate system options
• Preparing and presenting quotations
• Clearly explaining equipment, system operation and installation requirements
• Following up quotations and progressing opportunities
• Managing your own sales pipeline
• Using our bespoke CRM system to manage leads, customer communication, quotations, follow-ups and sales activity
• Ensuring customer records and opportunity information are kept accurate and up to date
• Working closely with our technical, surveying and installation teams
• Identifying opportunities for Solar PV, battery storage and other renewable technologies where appropriate
• Ensuring there is a clear handover from sales through to installation

This is not a scripted sales role. You will need to be able to understand the products you're selling and have meaningful conversations with customers about their requirements.

What We're Looking For

We are looking for someone with previous experience within renewables, heating, HVAC, air conditioning or a similar technical environment.

Ideally, you will already have experience with one or more of the following:

• Air Source Heat Pumps
• Air-to-Water heating systems
• Air-to-Air Heat Pumps / Air Conditioning
• Solar PV
• Battery Storage
• Domestic heating systems
• HVAC or other technical building services

You should:

• Have previous experience in a sales or customer-facing role within a relevant industry
• Be technically minded and comfortable discussing technical products
• Understand the importance of correct system selection and specification
• Be confident dealing directly with homeowners
• Be able to explain technical information clearly without overcomplicating it
• Have previous experience using a CRM system to manage leads and sales opportunities
• Be confident using computers and able to quickly learn our bespoke CRM and internal systems
• Be organised and capable of managing multiple enquiries, quotations and follow-ups
• Be confident following up opportunities and asking for the sale
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills
• Be commercially aware while maintaining a customer-focused approach
• Be capable of working independently while also working closely with our technical and installation teams

Knowledge across multiple renewable technologies would be particularly advantageous.

A Growing Industry and a Growing Business

Renewable energy has been around for a long time, but the industry continues to get busier.

Solar PV, battery storage, heat pumps and energy-efficient heating and cooling are becoming an increasingly normal part of how people think about their homes.

Customers are also becoming more knowledgeable, which means the industry increasingly needs people who can provide credible technical advice rather than simply sell a product.

Spectra continues to grow across these areas, and we're looking for the right people to grow with us.

This is an opportunity to join a growing, ambitious business and work alongside like-minded people with genuine experience across electrical, heating, air conditioning and renewable technologies.

We're building a team of people who understand their industry, take pride in what they do and want to be part of a company with significant opportunities for further growth.

Working at Spectra

Our Wigan office has a relaxed and easy-going working environment, but that doesn't mean we're relaxed about standards.

We take the quality of our advice, installations and customer service seriously.

There is no aggressive, high-pressure sales culture. Equally, this is a sales position, and we expect the successful candidate to be commercially aware, proactive with enquiries and capable of converting genuine opportunities into orders.

We believe good sales come from knowledge, credibility and giving customers confidence that they're dealing with people who know what they're doing.

We would rather lose a sale than sell somebody the wrong system, but when we have the right solution, we expect our sales team to be confident in explaining its value and winning the business.

If you already have experience within the heating, air conditioning or renewable-energy industry and are looking for an opportunity to develop your career within a growing technical business, we'd like to hear from you.
