Sales Engineer

Company Description

At Allye, our innovative smart energy storage systems are redefining the way batteries are designed, connected, distributed, and utilised to the grid. Flexible and modular, our systems are intelligently managed, making energy storage more affordable and accessible for everyone.

Job Description

The Sales Engineer is responsible for providing technical expertise throughout the sales process for the Allye MAX for both mobile power and on-grid applications. You will work collaboratively with the sales team to support inbound enquiries and outbound lead generation, offering deep technical guidance to customers. You will serve as the technical bridge between Allye's products and customer requirements, ensuring optimal solutions are designed and proposed.

You will be responsible for the technical aspects of the sales cycle from initial interest through to installation and commissioning. You will work closely with internal and external stakeholders to assess technical feasibility, conduct site surveys, analyze usage and tariff data, and coordinate activities relating to G99 applications, electrical installation, and commissioning by engaging with installers and DNOs. Your strong technical background and understanding of the G99/G100 process is essential for this role.

You will be highly analytical, detail-oriented and comfortable translating technical specifications into customer benefits in an early-stage business where the technical sales approach is still evolving. You will be comfortable developing technical documentation, creating solution architectures, and refining technical processes as part of your role.

As a strong technical communicator, you will be comfortable explaining complex energy storage solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. This is a multi-faceted role which requires comprehensive technical knowledge of Allye's energy systems and strong understanding of the technical requirements in the commercial and industrial (C&I) energy storage market. This is a UK and Ireland focused role initially but has significant potential to grow into a global technical sales role for the right person.
