Job Summary

About the Role

Join our client as a Technical Project Manager - EV Smart Charging and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of sustainable transportation. You will lead the deployment and integration of our client's cutting edge Charge Management System (CMS) for some of the world's largest transport agencies and fleet operators. Your technical expertise will ensure mission ready reliability, seamless system integration and exceptional customer outcomes in the rapidly evolving EV ecosystem.

We're looking for a hands on, problem solving engineer who thrives in complex technical environments-from configuring industrial networks and troubleshooting electrical metering systems to managing multi vendor integrations. If you're passionate about clean energy, cutting edge technology and delivering projects that make a tangible impact, this is your opportunity to drive real change.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end to end deployment of our client's CMS, from scoping and planning through commissioning, testing and operational handover.
• Serve as the primary technical point of contact for clients, building trust through deep industry knowledge and flawless project delivery.
• Commission and troubleshoot on site hardware-including power meters, local controllers, networking equipment (switches, routers, VLANs) and industrial CPUs.
• Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues across electrical, network and software layers, coordinating with OEMs and third party vendors as needed.
• Develop and manage project plans, milestones, budgets and resources to ensure timely, within budget delivery.
• Ensure all deployments comply with electrical, safety and regulatory standards.
• Create detailed documentation, including inspection and test plans (ITPs), commissioning reports and site handover packages.
• Collaborate with Software, Product and Customer Success teams to align deployments with product capabilities and feed field insights into roadmap development.
• Support presales and bid activities with technical input, risk assessments and delivery planning.
• Provide occasional after hours remote or on site support for urgent customer issues.

Must Have Qualifications

• Legal & Residency Status: Must be a UK resident with the right to work and be able to provide satisfactory Police Clearance for background checks as required for site access and client contracts.
• Technical Background: Demonstrated experience in electrical, telecommunications or control systems projects.
• Project Management: Proven track record in managing and delivering technical projects from conception to completion.
• Client Relationship Skills: Ability to build rapport with clients through technical credibility, clear communication and consistent delivery of high quality outcomes.
• Location & Mobility: Based in London with willingness to travel to sites across Greater London and the UK as required.
• Education: Tertiary qualification in Electrical/Electronics, Control Systems, Telecommunications or a related engineering discipline.
• Adaptability: Flexibility to adjust to evolving project scopes, timelines, customer needs and emerging EV technologies. Comfortable providing occasional out of hours support.

Nice to Have Qualifications

• Experience coordinating multi stakeholder environments (customers, OEMs, installation teams, internal departments).
• Background in presales, bid support or technical proposal development.
• Strong documentation skills with experience maintaining detailed records of testing, installations and troubleshooting.
• Prior exposure to EV charging infrastructure, smart grid technology or related fields.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are an engineer at heart with a project manager's mindset. You're equally comfortable discussing network topologies with IT teams, reviewing electrical schematics with contractors and presenting project updates to senior client stakeholders. You thrive in dynamic settings, enjoy solving puzzles across hardware and software layers and are motivated by delivering robust, real world systems.

You understand that the reliability of a cloud based CMS depends on flawless local infrastructure-and you take pride in ensuring that every deployment is resilient, integrated and user ready.
