The Network Engineer will be a highly motivated and proactive individual who takes ownership of our EV Charging Point Management System (CPMS) and wider EV fleet infrastructure. This is a key role within a rapidly growing organisation, providing an excellent opportunity to make a meaningful impact while supporting business continuity during a period of maternity leave.
You will be responsible for ensuring the reliability, uptime, and efficiency of our EV charging network, acting as a technical lead between internal teams, clients, OEM partners, and engineering colleagues. While occasional support for reactive call-outs may be required, the primary focus of the role is to resolve issues remotely through effective system management, automation, and fault diagnosis.
This fixed-term opportunity is ideal for an experienced Network Engineer who enjoys working autonomously, solving complex technical challenges, and driving continuous improvement across systems and processes.
