North East energy firm creates 50 new jobs in Sunderland and South Shields - here's how to apply

The Green Energy Advice Bureau, a consultancy that specialises in the procurement of business energy, is looking for sales staff to kick start their career within the energy sector.

Candidates will ideally have at least one-year experience in a sales role, and a previous understanding of the energy market would be desirable, although it is not essential as the business offers fantastic training opportunities and career development programmes.

The energy industry has been hit significantly with redundancies at British Gas, OVO Energy and BP. However, The Green Energy Advice Bureau continues to grow both at its’ Sunderland HQ and South Shields premises.

The consultancy, which helps find customers the best bespoke energy solutions is currently recruiting for multiple roles including Lead Generators, Energy Consultants and Sales Administrators for both their Sunderland and South Shields offices.

Both offices have been refurbished to comply with COVID-19 social distancing measures and to continue to promote a safe and healthy working environment including protective screens, staggered seating and providing protective PPE for every staff member.

Paul Cobb, managing director, commented on the latest recruitment push: “We are looking for dedicated sales staff who are looking to further develop their career. We have the tools to help you succeed and achieve your goals, the opportunities are there.”

Paul also added on the recent return to the office: “It’s fantastic being back in the office and being back in this environment. Everyone has adapted well with the changes and productivity is better than ever.”

The Green Energy Advice Bureau announced in March that it had outgrown its current base at Port of Tyne and was opening an additional office Sunderland.

The firm, which helps businesses reduce their environmental impact, is looking to add another 50 people to its 150-strong team after moving into Hylton Park.

Roles will include lead generators, energy consultants and SME business consultants.
