Our vehicles drive themselves, but you will be the driving force behind our charging infrastructure strategy. In this high-impact, strategic role, you will oversee the rapid, high-volume deployment of EV charging infrastructure while providing end-to-end operational oversight for our network. You will establish a scaled, repeatable process for the entire deployment lifecycle including site selection, design, and construction while managing ongoing asset maintenance, energy optimization, and lifecycle planning.
This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to the Director of Global Workplace & eMobility
You will:
- End-to-End Infrastructure Deployment: Oversee the hyper-accelerated planning, design, utility interconnection, and construction delivery of EV charging stations (with a heavy focus on high-power DC Fast Chargers) across global multi-site portfolios, driving schedule compression without sacrificing safety
- Rapid-Deployment Standardization: Develop modular, prefabricated site archetypes and standardized construction playbooks in the US to enable immediate, turn-key local execution and repeatable regional rollouts.
Oversee Rapid Deployment Supplier Standards: Spearhead the evaluation, qualification, and operational launch of new international equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and component suppliers, ensuring compliance with global and domestic production standards
- US-Based Programming Blueprint: Design and anchor the primary technology, hardware specifications, and programming protocols within a centralized US-based framework, exporting this blueprint globally to ensure plug-and-play compatibility and operational uniformity
- Supply Chain Resilience: Mitigate global logistics risks by establishing dual-sourcing strategies, secure component pipelines, and localized assembly partnerships to safeguard rapid deployment schedules
- Stakeholder & Vendor Management: Act as the primary liaison with utility companies, government agencies, and internal cross-functional partners (e.g., Facilities, IT, Finance, Legal). Oversee vendor teams responsible for project delivery, maintenance programs, and financing
- Reporting, Policy, & Compliance: Monitor industry trends, relevant policies, and electrical standards. Establish KPIs, analyze charging utilization data, and create comprehensive reports for executive leadership to measure environmental impact and system performance.
You have:
- BA/BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Project Management, Energy Management, or a related field
- Minimum of 7 years of professional experience in electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure deployment, with specific expertise in deploying and maintaining DCFC chargers and electrical systems
- At least 2+ years of experience in a management or leadership role
- Proven track record of managing complex, multi-site charging station projects from inception through commissioning, including navigating utility interconnections and securing permits
- Demonstrable expertise in developing and managing capital budgets, along with a deep understanding of relevant regulatory frameworks and incentive programs
We prefer:
- Certifications or industry designations in Project Management, Engineering, Facilities Services, or National Electrical Code compliance
- Experience operating in mixed-use environments (office, industrial, labs, or manufacturing) and managing outsourced vendor portfolios
- Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional decisions and communicate real estate and business case strategies to executive-level stakeholders
- Demonstrated passion for sustainability, data analysis, and network/security technology infrastructure
