About The Position

Do you want to be a part of the clean energy movement? Are you passionate about improving our environment for this generation and those to follow? Are you ready to take on new challenges and collaborate with a future-focused team leading the way into new markets? Join Nexamp! This is where you can learn from industry leaders and become one yourself. It's fast-paced, mission-based work that challenges the status quo. Be on the team that's changing the world. What we’re looking for: Maine is one of Nexamp’s fastest-growing and most strategic markets, with tremendous potential to bring affordable, clean energy to more households. We’ve built one of the strongest community solar offerings in the region — a proven product that saves customers money and supports local renewable power. This new in-house Door-to-Door Sales Representative team exists to bring that story directly to the community. By meeting people face-to-face, our reps help customers understand how community solar works, answer their questions, and show how easy it is to join. These roles are critical to accelerating Nexamp’s growth in Maine and ensuring that more consumers benefit from the best product and customer experience in the market. You will report to the Director, Community Engagement, and be based near Brewer/Bangor, Old Town/Orono, Dover-Foxcroft, or Ellsworth. Why this role is unique: Unlike many purely commission-based Door-to-Door (D2D) roles, you’ll receive a stable hourly wage and benefits + performance upside. You will be the face of Nexamp in your territory—knocking doors, making connections, and driving clean-energy adoption. Strong growth potential: pilot → scalable team as we expand across markets.

Comfortable working outdoors, walking neighborhoods, and working a field schedule (typical hours may include evenings/weekends)

Self-motivated, coachable, able to work independently and as part of a team

Demonstrated experience in effectively communicating information, ideas, and perspectives with people inside and beyond your organization.
Experience in showcasing initiative to make improvements to current work, processes, products, and services across the organization.

Fluency in English and Spanish is preferred.
Demonstrated passion for sustainability, renewable energy, or customer advocacy.

Meet or exceed week-over-week and monthly enrollment targets (leads generated, conversions, megawatts acquired).
Maintain accurate CRM entries of contacts, door knocks, follow-ups, and close outcomes.
Work independently in the field with hustle, self-motivation, and accountability—but also as part of the wider team (coaching, reporting, sharing best practices).
