Residential Sales Associate

If you arent very familiar with the residential energy and home services industry you may think every Solar Sales role involves knocking on doors pushing contracts and trying to pressure homeowners into buying systems they dont fully understand.

Youve probably had solar companies knock on your own door attempting to sell services that way.

Thats not how Sandbox operates.

Sandbox is one of the fastest growing companies around for several years in a row flourishing in a way that many in this industry cant. Weve won many local state and national awards from organizations such as NoCO Style Bizwest Nextdoor Denver Business Journal Solar Power World and the International Electrical Contractors Association and were named among Colorado Companies to watch for 2025.

Now back to our Residential Sales Associate

We have an opening in sales thats a little different from many residential sales positions.

A background in solar home energy or construction / roofing related sales

Or
