Company Overview: Established in California in 2013, Green Water and Power has rapidly grown to operate in over 25 states, positioning itself as a leader in the sustainable energy sector. Named the #1 electric vehicle (EV) installer in America, we take pride in having deployed more than 10,000 EV chargers and completed approximately 5 megawatts (MW) of solar energy projects.

 As an EVITP (Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program) certified turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firm, we leverage our in-house expertise to efficiently manage and execute large-scale projects. Our dedication to sustainability and quality extends beyond project completion; we also provide comprehensive operation and maintenance services to ensure optimal performance for the projects we develop, as well as for third-party installations.

Position Overview: We are seeking a motivated, entrepreneurial 1099 Independent Sales Consultant to grow our presence in key markets. As an independent contractor, you will build your own pipeline, manage client relationships, and generate new business opportunities for EV charging projects. This role offers full autonomy with uncapped commission potential.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Prospect and generate leads within commercial real estate, multifamily housing, retail, hospitality, workplace, fleet, and municipal sectors.
  • Present and sell EV charging solutions, including hardware, software, installation services, and maintenance programs.
  • Educate prospects on rebates, incentives, and cost-saving opportunities.
  • Secure electric bill, single line drawings and contract from clients.
  • Manage own leads, opportunities, and pipeline activity.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience in outside sales, B2B sales, or technical/solution-based sales.
  • Experience selling to property owners, developers, or facility leaders a plus.
  • Knowledge of EV charging, renewable energy, or electrical infrastructure is helpful but NOT REQUIRED (resources provided).
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
  • Self-motivated, disciplined, and comfortable working independently.
  • Existing industry contacts or networks are a strong advantage.

Requirements:

  • Need to have established business or a current W-2 position elsewhere.
  • Must have your own transportation.
  • Provide your own computer and equipment.
  • Responsible to pay your own expenses.

Why Work With Us:

  • Uncapped commission structure with high earning potential.
  • Complete independence as a 1099 contractor-set your own schedule and strategy.
  • Access to sales resources, marketing tools, and product training.
  • Fast-growing industry with expanding demand and recurring revenue potential.
  • Ability to add EV charging to your existing portfolio if you're already a rep or consultant.

Compensation:

This is a commission-only 1099 role. Commission percentages vary based on project size and product category.
