EV Fleet Analyst (m/w/d)

Job Description

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 billion in debt and equity funding and transformed it into >1GW of grid-connected batteries live or under contract and c.2,000 electric vehicles supported. We have operations in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Benelux, the USA and a global headquarters in London.

We’re the leading owner and operator of battery storage in the UK, supporting the National Grid with the uptake of renewable power. We also work with c.90% of the UK's major bus companies, powering 25% of the UK e-bus market. We’re also the number one owner and operator of e-buses in Australia and New Zealand, and are quickly expanding into light commercial vehicles and trucks. Our rapidly growing company is looking for highly talented and motivated people to join us.

The Opportunity

We are offering an exciting opportunity for outstanding candidates with a passion for fighting climate change to apply their analytical skills and industry expertise to the real-life commercial deployment of electric vehicle projects. In our rapidly growing company, adaptable, highly motivated and talented individuals will be given significant responsibility.

The EV Fleet Analyst will work closely with our Commercial Analytics, Sales, Technical Solutions and Operations teams to successfully design and optimize EV fleet sites. Typical objectives include modelling EV fleets and depots for design specification and validation or for optimizing the charging of vehicles, i.e. best use of charger scheduling and grid power to minimize the charging cost for vehicle operators whilst optimizing the overall charging performance and maximizing opportunity for smart-charging and V2G services for additional revenue. Delivery of these capabilities cover hypothetical pre-sales modelling for charging feasibility studies through to charging strategy implementation of live sites.

A Bit About the Day to Day

• Work with Business Development, Technical Solutions, and directly with customers to simulate initial electrification feasibility through to validating charging performance when signing off final electrical designs and component selection.
• Work with cross-functional teams to effectively optimize operations of EV fleets through simulation & analysis, optimizing charging performance.
• Work with the Business Development and Operations team(s) to provide in-depth modelling insights on fleet sites for both design-phase and live operational projects.
• Work with the Product Management and Engineering team to deploy simulation and analytics capabilities into automated pipelines linked with live data feedback and providing fleet performance insight or adapting future fleet strategies for continual improvement.
• Lead EV fleet simulation activities for all projects in the US and North America, supported by the rest of the global EV analytics team (UK-based).
• Feed back EV fleet simulation requirements to the analysts leading global toolset development.
• Lead US energy market research to allow commercial optimization of projects, feeding back tariff structures to the analysts leading toolset development.
• Continuously develop our analysis processes to increase efficiency and add value to all areas of the business.
