Account Handler - Off Grid Sales

APPLY NOW

Our off-grid department is expanding! With enquiries ranging from solar panels for boat builders in the UK, to off-grid kits powering Nissen huts in Antarctica, our team requires an account handler to become the first point of contact for our off-grid customers.

 If you're organised, good at working on your own initiative, and are interested in a role in a growing company that is working towards a future powered by renewable energy, we'd love to hear from you!


Who we are

We specialise in solar PV systems. While the bulk of that is wholesale distribution of grid-connect systems, the company started out selling off-grid systems to both retail and trade customers, and that continues to be a growing side of the business and one that you would be helping to develop. 

We’ve grown significantly from humble beginnings. Our first storeroom was the front room of a narrowboat, and we’ve outgrown five warehouses since. We're currently based in premises on the outskirts of Cambridge with 8000 sq ft of storage space and offices for our current staff of 18 - with a further 3 people employees working remotely. 

We're passionate about the environment, and we've gained a reputation for a helpful and open approach to business. The office is a friendly, dynamic and informal place to work.


What the job involves

You'll spend a lot of your time dealing directly with customers in person, on the phone and by email, so we expect you to have a relaxed, friendly, and helpful spoken and written manner. You will need to be a great communicator - with the ability to explain details of the products we sell clearly and concisely. As the first point of contact with trade customers, you will need the ability to create meaningful and lasting working relationships. This is an entry level job, but experience or a background in off-grid or renewable energy systems would be a plus.


As we're a small company, roles are fairly loosely defined. You will be given the opportunity to get involved in stock management, learning to specify and calculate off-grid solar kits to meet customers' needs, and many other aspects of the business. You may for example be asked to help with processing and packing orders when we're busy.

This position will suit someone who wants a career that will make a difference. Disappearing into a large organisation or doing the same thing every day doesn't appeal - and you'd like to put your skills to use to make the planet greener as well as earn your keep. You’re ambitious, and prepared to get stuck in to make a company you believe in grow.


What it offers

You'll be joining a small team, and the work you do will immediately make a difference. You will be sharing a dynamic, busy office. There’s a friendly and informal atmosphere, and a real buzz when things get busy.

The salary is £22 - £24K depending on experience. We offer 25 days paid holiday per year plus bank holidays. We work standard office hours Monday to Friday, and you'll be based at our offices on the outskirts of Cambridge.

Please complete the application form via the link below before the 31st January, and send a cover letter and CV to jobs@midsummerenergy.co.uk for the attention of Graham Smith.
