Solar Business Unit Manager

Home Based

Location: Home and field based, within approximately one hour of Ringwood

Salary: c. £65,000 basic + upto 10% company bonus + electric company car

Benefits: 25 days' holiday, pension, private healthcare, free parking and EV charging, plus regular company social events including partners

Are you experienced within solar and looking for the opportunity to take ownership of a growing business unit?

Aspire Jobs are recruiting exclusively for a fast-growing business within the construction and electrical sector, working across commercial and domestic markets.

They are now looking for an experienced Solar Business Unit Manager to take ownership of and grow their solar division.

This is a hands-on role combining commercial development, technical understanding, project oversight and client management.

You'll inherit a small existing pipeline and will also work alongside the company's central Business Development Manager, who will generate opportunities for the division. However, you'll still be expected to develop relationships, identify opportunities and help grow the business unit.

Just as importantly, once the work is won, you'll stay involved.

You'll work closely with clients, installers, subcontractors, suppliers and the Technical Director to ensure projects are properly quoted, organised and delivered, with the customer kept informed throughout.

This isn't a desk-based "Head of" role. You'll be out meeting clients, visiting sites and working alongside the people delivering the projects.

Our testimonials

I came across Aspire by chance when applying for a local role. From the first point of contact my experience has been exceptional. Amanda was so supportive and communication has been top notch. She kept me informed every step of the way and was always a delight to deal with. I would thoroughly recommend Aspire to anyone looking for a new opportunity.Amanda possesses exceptional communication skills making the conversations about job opportunities engaging and incredibly helpful. She also had a wide range of roles available to contact, and the ability to offer out candidate details as part of a newsletter showcase as extra personal marketing.

I applied for a vacancy through Aspire Jobs Limited, Helen was excellent and rang me shortly after to go through the job specification to make sure it was right for me. She sent my cv through to the company and I was invited for an interview. Aspire Jobs were great and prepared me for the interview and kept in constant communication throughout the process. Sadly I was not successful but I would definitely recommend using Aspire Jobs Limited.

I found Aspire to support me as the applicant throughout the Interview process. Helen supplied good information before the interview, by way of an online chat. This helped me to prepare for how the interview day would be. I was encouraged to search the company I was applying for so I new what kinds of questions I may want to ask and how to respond to questions they may ask me about them. This showed the company that had an interest in them. I felt very prepared for the interview and subsequent 2nd interview. Unfortunately on this occasion I was not successful, but I will use Aspire again should they have any other work that I want to apply for. Helen contacted me afterwards with feedback as to why I did not get the position on this occasion.
