Community Solar Field Representative

Job Description

Do you want to be a part of the clean energy movement? Are you passionate about improving our environment for this generation and those to follow? Are you ready to take on new challenges and collaborate with a future-focused team leading the way into new markets? Join Nexamp!

This is where you can learn from industry leaders and become one yourself. It's fast-paced, mission-based work that challenges the status quo. Be on the team that's changing the world.

What we're looking for

Maine is one of Nexamp's fastest-growing and most strategic markets, with tremendous potential to bring affordable, clean energy to more households. We've built one of the strongest community solar offerings in the region - a proven product that saves customers money and supports local renewable power.

This new in-house Community Solar Field Representative (Door-to-Door Sales) team exists to bring that story directly to the community. By meeting people face-to-face, our reps help customers understand how community solar works, answer their questions, and show how easy it is to join. These roles are critical to accelerating Nexamp's growth in Maine and ensuring that more consumers benefit from the best product and customer experience in the market.

You will report to the Director, Community Engagement, and be based near Brewer/Bangor, Old Town/Orono, Dover-Foxcroft, or Ellsworth.

Why this role is unique

• Unlike many purely commission-based Door-to-Door (D2D) roles, you'll receive a stable hourly wage and benefits + performance upside.
• You will be the face of Nexamp in your territory-knocking doors, making connections, and driving clean-energy adoption.
• Strong growth potential: pilot → scalable team as we expand across markets.
• This position is full-time, but we're also considering seasonal or part-time candidates.

What you'll do

• Travel within your assigned territory in and around Bangor, ME, to engage with residential customers, introduce the Nexamp community-solar program, and schedule/close enrollments.
• Present the value proposition of our solar-subscription product clearly: how it works, the savings, and the benefits.
• Meet or exceed week-over-week and monthly enrollment targets (leads generated, conversions, megawatts acquired).
• Maintain accurate CRM entries of contacts, door knocks, follow-ups, and close outcomes.
• Work independently in the field with hustle, self-motivation, and accountability-but also as part of the wider team (coaching, reporting, sharing best practices).
• Collaborate with internal teams (marketing, operations, customer-experience) to ensure smooth hand-off and excellent customer journey from sign-up to live service.
• Represent the company professionally, in all weather conditions and terrain.

What you'll bring

• 2 - 4 years of sales experience, with field-sales preferred (but strong drive and coachability matter most).
• High school diploma or equivalent required
• Proven persistence and resilience: you expect rejection and bounce back stronger.
• Excellent verbal communication and interpersonal skills; ability to build rapport quickly with homeowners.
• Comfortable working outdoors, walking neighborhoods, and working a field schedule (typical hours may include evenings/weekends).
• Valid driver's license, reliable transportation, and ability to safely travel across your territory.
• Self-motivated, coachable, able to work independently and as part of a team.
• Prior door-to-door, field sales, or community outreach experience (especially in energy, telecom, or solar) is nice to have.
• Experience using CRM systems (Salesforce, HubSpot, etc.) and digital sales tools is preferred.
• Fluency in English and Spanish is preferred.
• Demonstrated passion for sustainability, renewable energy, or customer advocacy.
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding sales or engagement goals.
• Commitment to Nexamp's mission and have a passion for solving tomorrow's climate crisis today.
• Demonstrated experience in effectively communicating information, ideas, and perspectives with people inside and beyond your organization.
• Experience in showcasing initiative to make improvements to current work, processes, products, and services across the organization. We value accountability and an ownership mentality.
• Ability to ask appropriate questions, analyze data, identify the root causes of problems, and present creative solutions.
• Expertise in building strong internal and external relationships with customers and stakeholders, instilling trust and loyalty across the industry.
• Eagerness to develop a fundamental understanding of how Nexamp operates and then apply that knowledge effectively to inform business decisions.

If you don't meet 100% of the above qualifications, but see yourself contributing, please apply.
