Why Join?
* Empowered leadership: Work under a Sales Director who values autonomy, collaboration, and fresh ideas. No micromanagement you’ll be trusted to deliver, supported when needed, and expected to take ownership.

* Identifying opportunities not just in lighting, but across EV charging and energy solutions.
* Leveraging your sector expertise whether it’s stadiums, airports, commercial offices, or industrial projects to open doors and build business focus around your strengths. We will work around you.
What We’re Looking For
* A specification sales professional with a track record of success and strong industry connections.
* Someone with long-term career stability, ambition, and the ability to spot opportunities.
