ABOUT ZENOBE

Our mission is to make clean power accessible. We are passionate about making a positive impact on communities and the environment where we work. 

We’re designing, financing, building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the take up of more renewable power, electrifying fleets for cleaner air, and providing clean, portable power including repurposed electric vehicle batteries. Our proprietary software and data analysis optimises operational performance for our customers to reduce emissions and costs. 

Since we began in 2017, we’ve raised over £2.7 billion in debt and equity funding and transformed it into >1.2GW of grid-connected batteries live or under contract and c.3,400 electric vehicles supported, including transit buses, school buses and trucks. We have operations in the USA, the UK, Benelux, Australia and New Zealand, with a global headquarters in London. 

With offices in Chicago and New York, our rapidly growing company is looking for highly talented and motivated people to join us. 

THE OPPORTUNITY

As we scale in the North American market, we are looking for an experienced technical leader to serve as Head of Project Development – North America. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will build, lead, and personally work alongside a team of technical sales engineers, managers, and associates responsible for the technical and value-engineered solution on Zenob’s fleet electrification projects. The role requires significant collaboration across functional groups – Project Delivery, Product Management and Engineering, Operations, Commercial Analytics, Legal, and Business Development – and strong project management acumen to manage a growing team across multiple concurrent projects. The ideal candidate combines a strong electrical engineering foundation with development experience: permitting and AHJ navigation, utility interconnection, EPC tendering, and contract/risk exposure across the project lifecycle. Experience in P3 or broader infrastructure development is a strong plus. EV/fleet electrification experience is strongly desired. This is a commercial role as much as a technical one: you will be evaluated on successful deal outcomes and project delivery, and must understand how design and value-engineering decisions affect deal economics, and how contractual risk flows down from customer contracts into EPC and subcontractor terms. You will report directly to the EVP–Partnerships and Commercial Operations.

A BIT ABOUT THE DAY TO DAY

• Build, lead, and personally work alongside a team of technical sales engineers, managers, and associates delivering technical solutions for fleet electrification projects

By doing so, each employee at Zenobe plays a vital role in fostering a culture that prioritises overall safety, holistic wellbeing, environmental sustainability in our business operations.

YOUR EXPERIENCE

Above all, Zenob is looking for collaborative, flexible, enthusiastic, and empathetic people who are interested in creating and promoting paths to a zero-carbon world. You are part of a ‘team’ and will be supported by a group of experienced professionals that care deeply about the work we do! You should anticipate heavy growth potential within the role as you develop professionally (and personally) as part of the Zenob team.
