  • Collaboration : Partner with technical experts to scope customer projects, negotiate agreements, and deliver solutions aligned with client goals.
  • Business Development Projects : Develop project timelines and manage BD initiatives consistent with senior management requirements.
  • Customer Service : Respond quickly to customer issues, ensuring high levels of satisfaction and loyalty.
  • Continuous Improvement : Provide constructive feedback to improve internal processes, making it easier for customers to do business with Powertech.
  • Knowledge Building : Maintain deep knowledge of Powertech’s products, services, policies, and rate structures to support customer solutions.
  • Prospecting Strategy : Develop and execute targeted outreach strategies to engage high‑potential prospects in the power industry.
  • Qualifications

  • University degree in Commerce, Business Administration, Engineering, or related discipline, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 6–8 years of experience in sales, business development, or customer‑related roles within utilities, consulting, or comparable industries.
  • Proven track record in growing revenue and building long‑term client relationships.
  • Exceptional written and oral communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical information clearly to executive audiences.
  • Skilled in negotiation and conflict resolution, with confidence to manage sensitive customer issues.
  • Strong business acumen and commercial competency.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively with senior decision‑makers and technical experts.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with enthusiasm to represent Powertech and promote our role in sustainable energy.
  • Experience identifying and converting new customers, with a hunter mindset and ability to open doors in complex B2B environments.
  • Must bring a flexible mindset and willingness to support evolving business priorities across teams and initiatives.
