🏢 About Pure Power Engineering

Pure Power Engineering is a leader in solar and energy storage engineering solutions with over 2,000 successful projects, demonstrating proven expertise in driving sustainability through technical excellence. The company stands out for its specialized focus on engineering services rather than just installation, offering a unique position at the intersection of technical innovation and business development in the renewable energy sector.

About This Role

This Senior Business Developer role involves leading strategic growth initiatives for Pure Power's engineering services, requiring management of the full sales cycle from discovery to contract negotiation specifically for solar and energy storage projects. The position is impactful because it directly drives revenue while building relationships with senior decision-makers in the renewable energy industry, contributing to the company's mission of accelerating sustainable energy adoption.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve researching new solar development projects in target markets, preparing tailored proposals for engineering services based on client specifications, and leading client meetings to discuss technical requirements and commercial terms. You'd likely spend time in Microsoft Dynamics updating account strategies and pipeline progress while coordinating with Pure Power's engineering teams to ensure proposed solutions align with technical capabilities.

  • Can provide concrete examples of building relationships with senior decision-makers in technical or engineering organizations
