Job Description
Renewable Energy Specialist – New Builds
n
Help homeowners get more from their new home.
n
Smart Energy is looking for a Renewable Energy Specialist to join our growing New Builds team, working directly with some of Australia's home builders and their customers.
n
This is a unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of customer experience, renewable energy and consultative sales.
n
You'll help customers understand how they can get more from their recent home through larger solar systems, battery storage and EV charging solutions — creating better long-term savings for the homeowner while delivering a fantastic experience for our builder partners.
n
This isn't about high-pressure selling. It's about building trust, understanding what the customer actually needs and helping them make a smarter decision for their home.
n
About the Role
n
You'll join a small, high-impact team of two and manage customers who have been referred to Smart Energy through our builder partnerships.
n
By the time they reach you, they're already building a new home and have an opportunity to review the renewable energy solution included in their build.
n
Your job is to understand their lifestyle, energy needs and future plans, then guide them through the options available — whether that means increasing their solar capacity, adding battery storage or preparing their home for an EV.
n
Done well, everyone wins:
n
The customer gets a system that delivers greater long-term savings.
n The builder knows their customer has been looked after professionally.
n Smart Energy strengthens its builder relationships while growing revenue and margin.
n
What You'll Do
n
n
Receive customer consultation requests from our builder partners and review supplied plans, specifications and quotes
n
Speak directly with customers to understand their energy needs, priorities and budget
n
Identify opportunities for customers to upgrade their solar system, add battery storage or install EV charging
n
Clearly explain the benefits, savings and long-term value of different renewable energy options
n
Provide a helpful,



consultative experience without using high-pressure sales tactics
n
Prepare and manage quotes, customer follow-ups and associated administration
n
Keep builders informed and confident that their customers are receiving a great experience
n
Manage your consultation pipeline and follow-ups with strong organisation and attention to detail
n
Work closely with your teammate to manage workload and maintain consistently high service standards
n
Continue building your technical and commercial knowledge across the rapidly evolving home electrification space
n
n
What We're Looking For
n
Above everything else, we're looking for someone who is great with people.
n
You'll be approachable, patient and genuinely interested in helping customers make the right decision rather than simply pushing for a sale.
n
Essential
n
n
Excellent communication and people skills
n
A warm, professional and relationship-focused approach
n
Strong organisational skills and confidence managing admin and follow-ups
n
Great time management and the ability to manage your own pipeline
n
A proactive, self-starting approach to problem-solving
n
Strong attention to detail
n
A genuine drive to learn, develop and progress
n
An understanding that strong relationships create long-term commercial results
n
n
Highly Regarded
n
n
Technical knowledge of solar, battery storage or EV charging
n
Experience working within renewable energy, electrical, energy or home electrification
n
Previous consultative sales or customer-facing experience
n
Experience working with builders, developers or within the new-build residential construction industry
n
n
Sales experience isn't essential.



If you've got the right technical knowledge, customer approach and willingness to learn, we'll support you with the sales and conversion side of the role.
n
What You'll Bring to the Team
n
n
The credibility and knowledge to build customer trust
n
A consultative, low-pressure communication style
n
Solid relationship-building skills that reflect positively on both Smart Energy and our builder partners
n
Commercial awareness and the ability to identify genuine opportunities
n
Curiosity and a willingness to continue developing your knowledge
n
A desire to grow your career as Australia continues moving toward greater home electrification
n
n
