Sunergy Solar is a fast-growing, well-established business built on three pillars: environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and uncompromising quality. We design and deliver commercial and agricultural solar projects for clients who, like us, value integrity, lasting performance, and positive impact. If you’re a high performer who wants to turn purpose into projects — and see your work deliver strong financial returns, accelerate New Zealand’s energy transition, and lift industry standards — read on as we are seeking a dedicated Business Development Manager to join this proven team!
What you’ll do
Win the right work: originate, qualify and close medium–large C&I and Agri projects (tenders, direct and partner-led).
Lead with credibility: uncover client drivers, build bankable business cases (payback/LCOE/IRR) and craft clear, value-led proposals.
Orchestrate outcomes: work with design, engineering and delivery to turn intent into robust, buildable solutions.
Grow relationships that last: exec teams, farmers, facility managers, councils, lines companies and funders.
Champion better practice: ethical procurement, waste minimization and stewardship built into every deal.
Own your patch: build and manage your pipeline, forecast accurately, and hit targets without cutting corners.
What you’ll bring
Proven B2B sales success in one or more: solar/renewables, electrical/engineering, power sector, agriculture, industrial, sustainability or commercial finance
Gravitas with both boardrooms and farmyards — confident presenter, trusted adviser, straight talker.
Commercial acumen: comfortable discussing tariffs, demand profiles, capex/opex and risk; able to build financial models and produce clear proposals using MS Office tools.
Technical curiosity: you don’t need to be an engineer, but you\'ll enjoy learning how systems work and how standards/grid requirements affect design.
Values alignment: integrity over volume; you’ll walk away rather than sell something that isn’t right.
Self-motivated and results-driven, with the discipline to manage pipeline and performance.
Ability to be based from our Rangiora head office, with willingness to travel semi-regularly across Canterbury and the wider South Island.
What you’ll get
Competitive Base Salary and Uncapped Commission Structure | Vehicle | Mobile | Tools of Trade
Impact at scale — projects that deliver for customers and the environment.
A team that delivers with hands-on leadership, tight design/delivery collaboration and a culture that backs you to do your best work.
Growth: we’re building nationally; strong performers will shape that journey.
