The cold, dark days of January are as good as any to start thinking about a new career in sales and s1jobs is the best place to get started.
Fancy a new career, a step up the ladder or a role where your knowledge and experience can really make a difference?
Don’t hang about. Start looking now and make 2018 the year when your working life gets the kickstart it deserves.
And one way to boost your career is by looking at the opportunities opening up in alternative energy.
Wind, waves, tidal power and solar rays aren’t so alternative these days. In fact, they’re quickly becoming an essential part of the energy mix. Add to this the fact that by 2032 there will be a ban on selling new petrol or diesel cars in Scotland and you begin to realise we’re in for a period of rapid change.
If you have a technical background, you could find yourself in big demand, with many new energy firms developing products and services geared towards this emerging market – and who need to translate their innovative ideas into sales.
Some of these roles are business-to-business, dealing directly with a commercial sector that’s keen to cut energy costs.
Others involve dealing with the public, helping them understand the technology and how best to use it in a domestic setting.
The field covers everything from insulation and double glazing to solar set-ups and micro hydro-generation schemes, where landowners can capture the energy from streams.
And there’s a whole segment dedicated to people living and working off-grid in areas where there’s no access to mainstream electrical services and oil deliveries by fuel tanker aren’t an option.
Work for one of the companies that specialises in off-grid generation and you’ll get to travel to some of the most remote, and beautiful, parts of the country – helping crofters, farmers and many more to live and work wherever they are.
Working in this sector isn’t just good for your career prospects and job satisfaction, it’s also good for the planet. You’ll personally be responsible for cutting CO2 emissions and reducing the greenhouse gases contributing to global warming.
So, if you have experience of sales and an understanding of the science behind the benefits of new energy, now’s the time to get energised in this rapidly growing sector.
