• Manage procurement processes for chargers, electrical equipment, software, construction services, and maintenance contracts.
• Evaluate charging-network operators, hardware suppliers, software providers, engineering contractors, and installation partners.
• Negotiate commercial terms, warranties, service levels, maintenance agreements, and performance commitments.
• Manage infrastructure projects from feasibility and design through permitting, construction, commissioning, and handover.
• Coordinate contractors, electricians, engineers, utilities, property owners, authorities, and internal stakeholders.
• Monitor project schedules, budgets, risks, dependencies, and construction quality.
• Coordinate factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning, and operational readiness.
• Establish procedures for charger installation, configuration, testing, maintenance, and decommissioning.
• Monitor charging-network availability, reliability, utilization, power delivery, and transaction performance.
• Establish preventive and corrective maintenance programs for charging equipment and supporting infrastructure.
• Manage charger faults, outages, connectivity problems, payment issues, and other operational incidents.
• Establish incident-management and escalation procedures for critical infrastructure failures.
• Monitor charger uptime and vendor response times against agreed service levels.
• Coordinate software and firmware updates with charging-network and technology providers.
• Ensure charging stations integrate effectively with fleet-management, energy-management, payment, mobility, and customer platforms.
• Work with technology teams on APIs, data integration, authentication, cybersecurity, and remote monitoring.
• Implement energy-management strategies to optimize charging schedules, load distribution, and electricity costs.
• Evaluate smart charging, dynamic load management, demand response, battery storage, and vehicle-to-grid capabilities.
• Assess opportunities to integrate renewable energy, solar generation, and energy-storage systems.
• Monitor electricity consumption, demand charges, energy costs, and charging efficiency.
• Develop charging policies and operational procedures for drivers, customers, fleet operators, and site personnel.
• Establish safety standards covering electrical hazards, vehicle movement, emergency response, fire protection, and public access.
• Ensure infrastructure complies with applicable electrical, transportation, construction, accessibility, environmental, and safety requirements.
• Coordinate permitting, inspections, certifications, and regulatory approvals.
• Conduct infrastructure audits and develop corrective and preventive action plans.
• Support charging-network expansion into new markets and locations.
• Analyze utilization and demand data to prioritize new charging sites and capacity upgrades.
• Develop location-selection models using traffic patterns, fleet routes, customer demand, utilization, and grid availability.
• Monitor charging technology developments and evaluate emerging solutions for commercial viability.
• Develop infrastructure lifecycle-management plans covering upgrades, replacements, capacity expansion, and end-of-life equipment.
• Maintain accurate infrastructure inventories, asset records, technical documentation, warranties, maintenance records, and site information.
• Develop dashboards and management reports covering network performance, costs, utilization, projects, reliability, and risks.
• Identify opportunities to automate infrastructure monitoring, diagnostics, maintenance, and reporting.
