The Opportunity

Quality Energy is hiring a Senior Business Development Manager to grow our Commercial Renewables division at a time of significant opportunity across commercial solar and Battery Energy Storage Systems.

You will have a proven track record selling commercial solar and BESS projects, and you will know how to open relationships, create your own opportunities and close large B2B deals.

This role is based in Melbourne, working closely with our head office, engineering, estimating, marketing and project delivery teams.

Given the significant commercial solar and BESS opportunities developing in New South Wales, regular travel to NSW will form an important part of the role.

This is a commercial and industrial sales role, not residential solar.
