Help Businesses Save Money While Building Your Career

Looking for a career where your attitude, work ethic, and people skills matter more than your previous experience?

Universal Energy Solutions is hiring motivated individuals to join our Calverton team as Commercial Energy Consultants .

Whether you’re just starting your career, changing industries, or looking for a fresh opportunity, this entry-level position is designed for people who enjoy working with others and want to build a successful career helping local businesses.

No previous sales experience? No problem.

We’ll provide the training, coaching, and mentorship to help you succeed.

As a Commercial Energy Consultant, you’ll meet with local business owners to review their electricity and natural gas supply plans, identify opportunities to reduce energy costs, and recommend competitive supplier options that best fit their business needs.

During your first several weeks, you’ll focus on developing new customer relationships while learning our proven customer consultation process alongside experienced mentors.

As we continue expanding into new markets across the country, we’re looking for motivated people who want to grow with us.

Many companies expect you to have experience before they’ll give you an opportunity.

We believe great consultants are developed through training, coaching, and real-world experience.

From your first day, you’ll work alongside experienced mentors who will help you build confidence, strengthen your communication skills, and teach you a proven customer consultation process that’s helped many of our team members build successful careers.

As you gain experience, you’ll have opportunities to take on larger customer portfolios, build long-term client relationships, and advance into Account Manager and leadership positions.

We’re also committed to promoting from within. As Universal Energy Solutions continues expanding into more than 20 additional markets over the next few years, we’ll continue creating leadership opportunities for the people who grow with us.

Your day begins at the office, where you’ll connect with your team, prepare for the day ahead, and head into your assigned territory alongside experienced mentors.

From there, you’ll spend your day meeting with local business owners, helping them identify opportunities to reduce their energy costs, recommending energy solutions that fit their needs, and building the skills that become the foundation of a successful consulting career.

• Meet face-to-face with local business owners and decision-makers.
• Review current electricity and natural gas supply plans.
• Help businesses identify opportunities to reduce their energy costs.
• Recommend competitive energy supplier options based on each customer’s needs.
• Build relationships with prospective commercial customers.
• Learn our proven customer consultation process alongside experienced mentors.
• Travel throughout an assigned territory (typically within a 30-mile radius of the office).
• Build the skills needed to take on larger customer portfolios and advance your career.

This role is perfect for people who enjoy working with others, solving problems, and helping businesses make informed decisions.

Many of our top performers started in restaurants, retail, hospitality, customer service, athletics, or other customer-facing roles where they learned how to communicate, solve problems, and build relationships.

If you’re competitive, coachable, self-motivated, and willing to learn, we’ll provide the training and support to help you succeed.

You bring the work ethic. We’ll provide the training.

We offer two compensation paths designed to support both new and experienced professionals.

Base Pay + Commission

• Weekly base pay while you learn and build confidence
• Performance-based commissions
• Ideal for Commercial Energy Consultants beginning their careers

Commission-Only

• Available for experienced professionals or Commercial Energy Consultants who transition after building consistent success

Typical first-year earnings range from $55,000–$90,000, with many Commercial Energy Consultants earning around $70,000 during their first year.

As your experience and production grow, many Commercial Energy Consultants choose to transition to the commission-only plan because it offers greater long-term earning potential.

Whether you’re brand new to the industry or looking for a career change, we’ll provide hands-on training, daily coaching, and mentorship from experienced professionals.

During your first 4–6 weeks , you’ll work closely with experienced mentors who will help you learn our customer consultation process, build confidence, and develop the skills needed for long-term success.

We’ll teach you the skills. Your success comes from the effort you put in.

Our goal isn’t simply to help you meet with your first customer—it’s to help you build a successful career.

Universal Energy Solutions helps businesses reduce their energy costs by connecting them with competitive electricity and natural gas supplier programs.
