• Drive Project Execution: Develop project plans, define milestones, manage budgets, coordinate resources, and track progress to ensure on-time and on-budget delivery.

• Hands-On Commissioning & Troubleshooting: Configure, commission, and troubleshoot our client's hardware (power meters, controllers, networking equipment) and resolve complex technical issues with vendors and OEMs.

• Coordinate a Complex Ecosystem: Manage multi-vendor environments, driving accountability among charger OEMs, electrical installers, and infrastructure partners to achieve successful integration.

• Ensure Quality & Compliance: Develop and manage inspection/test plans (ITPs) and commissioning documentation, ensuring all work meets relevant regulatory and safety standards.

• Contribute to Growth: Support presales and bid proposals by providing technical input, risk assessments, and delivery plans.

What You'll Bring (Must-Have Qualifications):

1. A solid technical background in electrical, control systems, telecommunications, or a related field, supported by a tertiary qualification.

2. Proven experience in project management and oversight, with a track record of delivering complex technical projects.

3. A unique ability to build client rapport through your deep technical and industry knowledge, inspiring confidence in your delivery.

4. Willingness and ability to travel throughout the U.S. and Canada as required by project needs.

5. Innate flexibility and adaptability to manage changes in scope, timelines, and emerging technologies, including accommodating occasional urgent after-hours support.

6. Exceptional problem-solving skills and a hands-on approach to technical commissioning and troubleshooting.

What Will Make You Stand Out (Nice-to-Have Qualifications):

• Experience effectively coordinating diverse stakeholders (customers, OEMs, installers, internal teams) for smooth deployments.

• Direct experience providing presales and bid support.

• A meticulous approach to documentation, with experience maintaining detailed records of tests, customer interactions, and troubleshooting steps.

• Past hands-on experience with EV chargers (EVSE) and charging ecosystems.

Ideal Candidate Profile:

You might be an Engineer or Project Manager with experience in control systems, automation, testing, and integration. You likely have a background with leading organizations such as Siemens, ABB, Schneider Electric, Honeywell, Eaton, ChargePoint, EVBox, or Tesla.
