Responsibilities
- Deployment & Execution: Drive massive rollout of BYD Flash Charging sites, ensuring on-time, on-budget, and safe delivery.
- Deployment & Execution: Coordinate all phases: permitting, civil works, electrical installation, grid connection, BESS installation, and commissioning.
- Deployment & Execution: Manage project budgets, schedules, risks, and contractor performance across multiple parallel sites.
- Installer & Construction Ecosystem: Build and maintain a qualified national/regional partner network (installers, EPCs, civil-works companies).
- Installer & Construction Ecosystem: Lead RFI/RFQ processes, negotiate contracts, and enforce BYD installation and quality standards.
- Installer & Construction Ecosystem: Implement standardized deployment methods to ensure speed, scalability, and repeatable quality.
- Technical Leadership: Act as the primary technical point of contact for HPC chargers, BESS systems, site power design, and integration.
- Technical Leadership: Support engineering reviews (single-line diagrams, load studies, grounding, communication systems).
- Technical Leadership: Provide on-site guidance and troubleshooting during installation and commissioning.
- Network Operations: Oversee operational monitoring and ensure smooth integration of new stations into the live network.
- Network Operations: Coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance with service partners to ensure high uptime.
- Network Operations: Maintain accurate site documentation, as-built files, and commissioning records.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Real Estate, Engineering, Energy, Procurement, and Finance teams.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Share field insights to improve deployment guidelines, BESS integration workflows, and future product designs.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Ensure alignment with corporate best practices and regulatory requirements.
Requirements
Must-Have
- 5+ years experience in deploying EV charging, BESS, PV, telecom, or comparable multi-site electrical infrastructure.
- Proven delivery of large-scale deployment programs (10–100+ sites).
- Practical experience with Battery Energy Storage Systems (design, installation, commissioning).
- Established network of local installers, EPCs, grid contractors, and construction companies.
- Strong technical knowledge of LV/MV electrical systems, grid connections, civil works, and commissioning.
- Strong project-management capabilities (PMP/Prince2 is a plus).
- Ability to travel frequently across the country/region.
Nice-to-Have
