Technical Sales Engineer

We’re looking for a Technical Sales Engineer to join the wholesale team at Midsummer, to take care of technical enquiries, diagnose and trouble-shoot installations that are not working as they should, and ensure that new systems that we sell are correctly specified.

We supply a wide range of products, from solar PV inverters to battery storage systems and electric vehicle inverters. Whilst we don’t expect detailed product knowledge from applicants, we will expect you to demonstrate a passion for renewables, and a keen and enquiring mind that can rapidly assimilate and distill technical information.

We expect most applicants to have a background in an engineering or scientific discipline – but hands-on practical ability is more important to us than academic qualifications. An understanding of basic electrical concepts is essential, as are good communication skills. You will have a natural inclination to help people and get systems working, getting to the bottom of technical issues quickly and patiently, and communicating solutions clearly by phone and by email. Programming or electronics experience would be an advantage. You will be at ease using hand and electrical tools.

This post is a great opportunity for you to get a foothold in the renewables industry. 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. We are a rapidly expanding company, and there is a fantastic future for solar and energy storage in the UK, so there will be plenty of opportunities for career progression.

We aim to be a friendly, relaxed but dynamic place to work. We're passionate about the environment, and we've gained a reputation for a helpful and open approach to business. The salary for this post is £26K to £30K depending on experience. Long term employees also share in the profits of the company.

Please apply by the 25th October by completing this application form and sending a CV to jobs@midsummerenergy.co.uk with your name and 'Technical Sales Engineer' as the subject.
