Salesforce Developer

Location: Hybrid

About The Role

Ecotricity, the UK’s first true green energy provider, has a strong internal team supporting and developing solutions across multiple mission critical platforms including Salesforce (Service and Sales). This hands-on role, of Salesforce Developer, is first and foremost about delivering system changes and improvements but additionally looks for your experience to help us leverage value from our Salesforce investment.

The Ecotricity Technology department is a small friendly team with a strong focus on getting results, with everyone committed to delivering both individually and as part of the group/project.

We have a good work life balance, with the management team typically being in the office two or three days a week and working from home on other days.

We’re proud to be an ethical company, and this naturally attracts ethical people, making for a good safe working environment and a team that works and wins together. We also have a competitive benefits package and chose to invest in our people whenever we can.

What you will do

• Work as part of a small team of Salesforce admins/developers delivering Salesforce changes
• Work collaboratively with the Salesforce Tech Lead to develop best practice, streamline throughput, and ensure consistent high quality output.
• Provide technical input in discussions with management and stakeholders.
• Work on new functionality, changes and faults, including complicated tasks as appropriate.
• Seek day to day opportunities to upskill and cross train with your peers.
• Contribute research into new beneficial technology and process improvements.

About You

You will have considerable technical experience working with Salesforce at a developer level, including interfacing with other platforms, developing Salesforce assets for use in websites and mobile apps, and all using modern deployment techniques. Knowledge of the Energy industry or Salesforce ‘Energy & Utility Cloud’ would be a bonus, but not necessary.

You will be comfortable working with project managers and product owners, keeping stakeholders and management continually informed, presenting and demoing solutions routinely. You will have good communication skills and can adjust to type of each audience.

We will actively support you, but as a potentially remote role you should be self motivated, delivery driven, and not need to be led. You should strive for best practice and technical excellence and be a person that actively looks for continual improvement opportunities.

Ecotricity is Britain's greenest energy company. When we started back in 1995, we were the first company in the world to provide a new kind of electricity- the green kind.

Our mission was, and remains, to change the way energy is made and used in Britain- by replacing fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy.

We don't just supply green energy, we use the money from our customers' bills to make it ourselves too- we build windmills and sun parks in Britain. We call this 'bills in to mills'. In 2021, we started work on building two new solar parks, and now, in 2022, we're bringing geothermal energy to our customers' fuel mix, a first in the UK. We're also developing green gas mills which will generate 100% green gas from a source that we will never run out of- grass.

We don't just focus on energy though- we built Electric Highways, Britain's leading network of electric vehicle charging points, we helped Forest Green Rovers become the greenest football club in the world, and, in partnership with RSPB, we launched Britain's greenest mobile phone service, Ecotalk + RSPB.

Ecotricity is an equal opportunities employer and is committed to providing equality for all.
