My client are a specialist recruiter and are looking for ambitious, resilient and commercially minded individuals to join their friendly team as Energy Sales Consultants, with a strong focus on sales, business development and generating new client relationships. This role will be heavily focused on selling contract and permanent recruitment solutions to the energy, renewables and utilities industries. No recruitment experience required, if you can sell, build relationships, and thrive in a performance-led environment, the rest can be taught.

The role

As an Energy Sales Consultant, you’ll be trained to become a full 360 consultant, with a strong emphasis on the sales and revenue-generating side of recruitment within the energy, renewables and utilities industries across the country. You’ll work closely with experienced managers and top billers who will coach you 1:1 and support your development.

  • B2B sales (energy, utilities, telecoms, SaaS, professional services, etc.)
  • Business development or account management
  • Outbound / phone-based sales environments
  • Estate agency, lettings, or property sales
  • Any role where you’ve worked to KPIs, targets, or commission

  • Commercially driven and money-motivated
  • Confident speaking to senior stakeholders
  • Resilient and comfortable with rejection
  • Competitive, proactive, and results-focused
  • Keen to build a long-term career, not just a job

  • Ongoing mentoring from experienced leaders
