About Quest Power

Quest Power is a new and rapidly growing business specialising in mobile generator and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) hybrid power solutions, with a strong focus on renewable energy integration. We design, specify, and deliver reliable temporary and off-grid power systems that combine generators with advanced battery storage and renewable energy sources—reducing fuel use, emissions, and noise while maximising uptime. Our operations cover the full lifecycle of these systems, including product development, deployment, on-site support, and transportation of units, supporting critical applications such as mobile diagnostic facilities and other temporary power requirements.

As part of the wider Quest Group (circa 200 employees), we benefit from the stability and resources of an established organisation while retaining the agility and growth opportunities of a newer, expanding business. This creates strong career progression prospects for motivated team members as we continue to scale.

Role Overview

This is a commercially focused role with a strong emphasis on opening up new areas of work, new sectors, and new customer bases for Quest Power. The package is heavily bonus-based, rewarding those who can generate significant new revenue.

This role suits a self-motivated individual with existing industry experience who thrives on building relationships, identifying opportunities, and converting them into long-term business.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify and open up new areas of work, sectors, and applications beyond the current customer base, including renewable energy opportunities.
• Build and manage a pipeline of new opportunities through prospecting, networking, and leveraging existing industry contacts.
• Lead the full sales cycle: initial engagement, needs analysis, solution specification (working with the technical team), proposal, negotiation, and close.
• Develop strong relationships with key decision-makers in target sectors (e.g. healthcare, construction, events, utilities, industrial, public sector, renewable energy, etc.).
• Represent Quest Power at industry events, exhibitions, and customer meetings.
• Work closely with the technical and operations teams to ensure solutions are accurately specified and deliverable.
• Meet and exceed sales targets and revenue goals, with a clear focus on new business generation.
• Provide market feedback to help shape future product and service development, including renewable energy applications.
• Maintain accurate records of activity and pipeline in the CRM system.

Requirements

• Proven track record in business development or sales within the power generation, temporary power, BESS, hybrid energy, renewable energy, plant hire, or closely related industry.
• Strong existing industry knowledge and network of contacts.
• Demonstrable success in opening up new markets, sectors, or customer segments.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to understand technical power and renewable energy solutions and translate them into commercial value for customers.
• Self-motivated, target-driven, and comfortable with a heavily performance-related package.
• Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel regularly to meet customers and attend events.
• Experience using CRM systems and managing a sales pipeline.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience selling hybrid power systems, BESS, generators, temporary power solutions, or renewable energy systems.
• Existing relationships in sectors such as healthcare (including mobile diagnostics), construction, events, utilities, industrial hire, or renewable energy.
• Experience working in a growing or entrepreneurial business environment.
• Knowledge of the benefits of hybrid/BESS and renewable energy solutions (fuel reduction, emissions, noise, uptime) and how to articulate them commercially.

What Success Looks Like

You will open new areas of work for Quest Power, including renewable energy applications, build a strong and sustainable pipeline of new customers, and generate significant revenue growth. As a key commercial driver in a rapidly growing business within the wider Quest Group, high performers will be well rewarded through the heavily bonus-based package and will have clear opportunities to shape the commercial direction of the company as it expands.
