• Work closely with municipalities in Gauteng to ensure grid compliance and approvals

What We're Looking For:

• 5+ years' experience in C&I solar PV technical sales
• Proven track record of ZAR 20 million+ in CAPEX sales (50-350 kWp projects)

• Strong technical knowledge and ability to design custom solar solutions
• Proficiency in PV design software (e.g. Helioscope, PVSyst, PV*Sol, AutoCAD)
• Bonus: A portfolio of active clients or a solar business with strong leads
• Advantageous: Experience engaging with municipalities and understanding regulatory requirements

You'll Thrive If You...
