Energy Consultant
£30,000 - £55,000 + Uncapped Commission (£140,000 Average Earnings)
Gateshead | Full-time | Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm
About the Role
As one of our Energy Consultants, you will run your own book end to end — prospecting, qualifying, pitching, negotiating, and closing. The pipeline is yours, the relationships are yours, and the commission is entirely yours!
It's a more challenging path than working within a team structure, and it's not for everyone. But if you are self-sufficient, commercially aware, confident, and motivated by ownership, it's one of the most rewarding models on the Northern Gas and Power sales floor.
What You'll Actually Be Doing
- Prospecting and pipeline building: identifying and engaging new business opportunities through cold-calling outbound activity, referrals, and market intelligence
- Full sales cycle ownership: from first conversation to signed contract, including pricing discussions, supplier negotiations, and tender management
- Account management and renewals: building long-term customer relationships that enhance your reputation and NGP’s
- Commercial decision-making: advising customers on procurement strategy, contract timing, market conditions, and risk management
- Working with the trading and procurement desk to structure competitive offers and navigate supplier dynamics
Your role will involve outbound prospecting, customer relationship management, and deal progression. The balance shifts as your book matures. Early on your work will be heavily weighted to prospecting and winning new business. As you progress, your time will become more focused on renewals and account management.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What Makes This Rewarding
- You control your own income. Every deal you close is fully yours, no commission-sharing!
- Your pipeline and reputation compound. You become the go-to person for your clients, potentially winning more business via referrals and renewals
- You add to your value year on year, via increased commercial expertise in energy markets, supplier dynamics, and procurement strategy
- You're supported, not micromanaged. You’ll be mentored by experienced managers and coaches with the full trading desk behind you. In a competitive environment, this is exactly what you need to drive your success!
What's in It for You
- Uncapped commission — fully attributed to you, no splits!
- Long-term career development opportunities which may evolve into senior commercial, leadership, or more specialist roles
- 23 days holiday + additional December leave (December off) + bank holidays
- Pension and access to Simplyhealth (money towards dental care, eyesight checks, physio, etc.)
- Exciting incentives for excellent performers (so far this year, we’ve sent our people for VIP experiences to: Monaco Grand Prix, Tomorrowland, Champions League matches, Royal Ascot, Wimbledon to name a few…)
- Daily cash incentives on the sales floor
- A team environment where everyone celebrates wins
Your First 90 Days
- Weeks 1-3: Intensive training on energy markets, procurement processes, CRM systems, and NGP's commercial approach. You'll shadow experienced ECs and spend time with the trading team to accelerate your learning.
- Weeks 4-8: You're prospecting with support. Your manager and coaches review your pipeline, sales strategy, and help you structure your first proposals to get those early wins.
- Weeks 9-12: You're operating independently with a growing pipeline. First commissions land.
