Commercial Sales Associate

Commercial solar isn’t something most people think about every day. Most picture panels on homes, but the commercial side is where long-term impact happens. Companies, developers, architects, and general contractors turn to solar because it lowers costs, strengthens energy resilience, and supports smarter building. That’s where Sandbox Solar comes in.

We’ve grown quickly here in Northern Colorado, and we’ve done it by keeping our focus on people, craftsmanship, and genuine partnership. That approach has earned us recognition from NoCO Style, BizWest, Nextdoor, Denver Business Journal, Solar Power World, and the International Electrical Contractors.

And now, lets get into what we are looking for...

We have an opening for a Commercial Sales Associate that’s a little different from a traditional sales role. Instead of chasing cold leads, you’ll be building relationships with the professionals who shape commercial projects - general contractors, architects, developers, project managers, and others in the construction world.

• Building and maintaining relationships with general contractors, architects, developers, and project managers
• Finding new commercial solar opportunities through Bidnet, Building connections, industry outreach and networking events

• Shy away from building relationships, cold-calling, or networking
• Drop the ball, don't follow through, and don't keep accurate records

• Aren't personable, confident, and credible enough to represent Sandbox Solar and meet potential leads & referral sources.
