Description
We're looking for a motivated and commercially minded Solar PV Commercial Sales Advisor to join our growing Mole Energy team.
If you're passionate about agriculture, renewable energy, and building strong customer relationships, this is an exciting opportunity to help farming and commercial businesses reduce energy costs, improve efficiency, and invest in a more sustainable future.
You'll be part of a collaborative and innovative team, helping customers navigate their renewable energy journey from initial consultation through to the delivery of a tailored solar solution. This role offers autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to play a key role in the continued growth of Mole Energy.

As a Solar PV Commercial Sales Advisor, you'll take ownership of the entire customer journey, working closely with farming and commercial businesses from initial enquiry through to solution design, quotation, order conversion and handover to installation teams.
Taking a consultative approach, you'll spend time understanding each customer's business, energy requirements and future goals before recommending tailored solar solutions that deliver both commercial and environmental benefits. You'll conduct site visits, gather information to support system design, work alongside technical specialists to develop proposals, and act as a trusted advisor throughout the decision-making process.

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

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Managing customer opportunities from initial enquiry through to quotation, order conversion and installation handover.
- Developing new business opportunities within the agricultural and commercial sectors.
- Conducting on-site visits to assess suitability for solar installations.
- Understanding customer needs and recommending tailored renewable energy solutions.
- Working closely with internal technical teams to develop proposals and quotations.
- Building and maintaining strong customer relationships across your territory.
- Managing a healthy pipeline of opportunities and maintaining accurate CRM records.
- Achieving sales targets through proactive business development and excellent customer service.
