Technical Commercial Manager | Solar PV & Battery Systems | Key hire in fast-growing business with pathway to Director role

OVERVIEW

A growing, founder-led solar PV and battery systems business is seeking a Technical Commercial Manager to play a pivotal role across customer engagement, technical decision-making, and delivery quality.

The business delivers a varied portfolio of projects across domestic and commercial settings, spanning both private and public sector clients. This brings differing technical requirements, stakeholder expectations, and decision-making environments.

The business is experiencing strong commercial growth and securing further opportunities across this portfolio. Your role is a key appointment, providing the technical and customer-facing capacity required to enable and sustain that growth.

This is a hands-on, install-adjacent role where the majority of time will be spent in customer-facing technical and commercial conversations. It is not a desk-only management position.

The opportunity will suit someone who is career minded and sees the potential to be part of something bigger, with future profit share and equity discussions to be held upon strong performance in the role over time.

YOUR ROLE

You will operate as a senior technical and commercial authority, ensuring systems are designed, priced, and delivered correctly first time.

Day to day, you will work closely with the business owners, operating with a high degree of trust and autonomy. You will frequently act as the face of the business to customers, representing technical capability, commercial judgement, and delivery standards in key conversations.
