Solar Business Development Manager

Conrad Energy are currently recruiting for an experienced Solar Business Development Manager to join their growing team. This position will be a key part of the Development Team, originating and managing a large and growing a portfolio of rooftop solar projects.

The role will require taking ownership of the sales process and leading them through the development process, from the point of initial identification, to being ready to build, with ongoing support during project construction and financing.

This position requires 3 to 5 years of sales experience in the energy industry, with a strong focus on solar and the development process especially in design, commercial arrangements, and grid connections. The ability to multi-task and effectively manage competing priorities, whilst maintaining a keen eye on accuracy and detail are required, in order to deliver and contribute to the overall success of Conrad Energy.

About Conrad Energy Ltd

Our energy solutions directly address the energy trilemma (security, sustainability and affordability), enabling the UK’s transition to a low carbon economy. Each of our projects deliver critical power and services to the National Grid as well as industrial and commercial customers. Our expertise, technology and flexibility are key to the UK achieving its ambitious net zero targets.

Backed by I Squared Capital, a global investor in energy and infrastructure assets, we are the UK’s largest owner/operator of flexible power plants with 900MW in operation and over 1GW in early pipeline. Put into context, this means we could provide power for an hour to around 1.8 million homes already, with another 2 million homes in the pipeline.

From our beginnings in 2017 as a flexible gas generation business with a team of 14 people, we have grown to become one of the UK’s leading vertically integrated energy companies, owning and operating over 65 energy facilities across the UK. Our significant development pipeline covers flexible generation, battery energy storage, solar, hydrogen and stability services. Our innovative data driven, in-house automation tools give us a unique edge when trading and maximising our own assets and those of our clients. We have built not only an impressive portfolio of energy assets, but also a seriously ambitious and knowledgeable team.
