Regional Solar Business Developer – Agriculture Focus
Location: Johannesburg
Salary: R 55 000 basic + commission
Fuel food production with future-proof energy.
Is this you?
You speak the language of farmers, packhouses and agri-processors – and you know the pressures they’re facing with rising tariffs, unreliable power and tight margins. You’re commercially driven but also purpose-led. You know your way around a farm gate and a boardroom, and you’re excited by the chance to bring cost-saving solar solutions to the agricultural sector.
What you’ll be doing (and why you’ll enjoy it)
You’ll be selling Rent to Own and PPA solar solutions tailored for agri clients – from farms and co-ops to food processors. You’ll tap into your existing network, generate new leads, and guide deals from first call to close. With load shedding and diesel costs cutting into profits, you’ll be offering clients a no-capex solution with major upside. You’ll be supported by a technical team who knows how to build for rural and remote setups.
Where you’ll be doing it
You’ll join a fast-growing renewable energy company known for simplifying clean power. Since 2019, they’ve helped hundreds of SA businesses switch to solar – hassle-free. They understand agri clients and the sector’s seasonality, and they value autonomy, grit and results.
What you’ll need
4+ years in B2B sales or agri business development, with experience selling into the farming, logistics or production sectors. Ideally, you’ve worked in or around solar or engineering, and you’re confident in managing deals from prospect to close. Strong networks in agri will set you apart.
What you’ll get
A solid salary and commission, career growth, and the chance to power one of SA’s most vital industries – sustainably.
