Headhunter for energy technology sales
We are premium headhunters and personnel consultants for the sale of renewable energies - and in the entire field of energy technology. An industry that is currently undergoing extensive change. However, the growing need for sustainable solutions, the integration of renewable energies and increasing digitalisation are not only changing energy technology itself, but also influencing the qualifications required of sales experts.
As well as technical expertise, they need an understanding of complex market structures. To continue to be successful in energy technology in the future, you have to be able to drive change forward yourself together with your team. That’s why we focus primarily on one thing in sales recruiting for photovoltaics (PV), wind power, hydrogen (H2) and energy storage: finding candidates for you who can contribute this strategic vision.
Energy technology sales presents special requirements
Anyone working in the sales department of an energy technology company must understand certain physical basics: energy transmission and distribution, functioning of high-voltage lines and transformers. What’s more, sales staff must be able to explain these basics, as well as complex products, in a simple way. In no other industry is it more important than in the energy technology branch not only to be a good salesperson, but also to be a knowledge broker.
The energy transition is the largest infrastructure project of our time. But the sale of solar modules, wind turbines and hydrogen electrolysers is heavily dependent on government regulation, fluctuating subsidies and global supply chains. As a sales professional, you are a sustainability expert who can combine technical understanding with political skills and accompany projects from the initial land acquisition to approval planning and the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement).
And in addition, a special feature defines sales in this industry: a sales expert has to negotiate with farmers, municipalities, the public sector and investors – about permits, government subsidies and lead times, which often extend over years before the groundbreaking ceremony takes place.
Michael Lainer, specialist headhunter for energy technology and renewable energies
“Energy technology places special demands on sales staff – technical understanding and sales competence must be seamlessly intertwined. Especially in key areas such as storage technologies and grid stability, where technology is currently developing rapidly, it is crucial that sales professionals can also anticipate market trends and customer requirements. We know where to find these sales talents for you.”
We find your sales expert for energy technology
Renewable energies, grid stability, storage technologies and electromobility: if our premium headhunters are to find sales professionals who are knowledgeable about these, they themselves also have to understand what special features the energy technology industry brings with it. This is what makes SALESJOB so successful in the art of finding job candidates – and it is precisely this that the energy technology requires in particular.
Competition for sales specialists is fierce, especially in the solar and wind industries. Here, it’s not just about sales success, but also about understanding the complex market and the green economy. The green tech scene in particular is also closely networked: a discreet approach to candidates - the MO of our headhunters – is essential. And we consider one more thing vitally important: that the candidates’ personal values correspond to your sustainability strategy.
For over 25 years, we have been accompanying technical industries through change. We have long been speaking the companies’ language and translating it into our specially developed methodology. Our specialists for energy technology rely on our customised Sales Talent Search or Executive Search for renewable energies – depending on whether you are looking for a new team member or a manager. Either way, we will find the right candidates for you.
