How to Apply for Business Development Representative - Dynamic Energy

at Pattern Energy

🏢 About Pattern Energy

Pattern Energy is a leader in renewable energy, but Dynamic Energy (a subsidiary) focuses specifically on distributed solar, storage, and EV charging. They combine financial expertise with technical know-how to bring community and commercial solar projects to life, making a tangible impact on decarbonizing the grid. Working here means joining a mission-driven team that values quality, integrity, and performance.

About This Role

As a BDR, you'll be the front line of Dynamic's growth—researching target accounts, conducting outbound outreach (phone, email, etc.), qualifying leads, and scheduling meetings for the sales team. Your work directly fuels the pipeline that brings more renewable energy projects online, so every call and email contributes to a cleaner grid.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day starts with reviewing a list of target accounts in a specific region, then conducting research on key contacts (e.g., facility managers, CFOs). You'll spend a few hours on outbound calls and emails, aiming to qualify leads and book discovery meetings. After lunch, you update your CRM, attend a team pipeline review, and wrap up by sending follow-ups to prospects who showed interest.

  • Sending a generic application without mentioning solar or renewable energy—this role requires industry knowledge.
  • Failing to demonstrate experience with outbound prospecting (cold calling/emailing) in your resume or cover letter.
