• Technical ownership: Set charger specifications (power level, connectors, protocols, uptime and service-level terms), grid and load-management approach, and the role of storage and renewable supply.
• Operations: Drive charger uptime, charging schedules aligned to dispatch, preventive maintenance, incident response and energy cost optimisation.
• Business case: Build and track the financial model inputs, covering capex, tariff structure, total cost of ownership versus diesel, and payback by site.
• Internal stakeholders: Work with logistics and user teams to translate operating needs into charging plans, agree charging windows and service levels, and handle conflicts between operating and charging priorities.
• External stakeholders: Manage relationships with vehicle OEMs, charger OEMs, charge point operators (CPOs), discoms, EPC contractors and technology partners; lead vendor selection, negotiation and performance reviews.
• Team leadership: Set priorities and goals for the team, coach the members, and direct the digital platform and command-centre requirements.
• Governance: Ensure safety, regulatory and standards compliance, risk management and clear reporting to senior leadership.

• Hands-on experience with DC fast and high-power charging, preferably for heavy commercial vehicles (trucks and buses), including depot design and load management.
• Track record of building and running charging networks or fleet electrification programmes at scale.
• Working knowledge of grid connections, discom processes, tariffs and open-access power.
• Financial modelling and business-case skills.

KEY COMPETENCIES

• Stakeholder management at senior level, both inside a large organisation and with external partners.
