→ About Us
Hubber is on a mission to electrify urban transport.
Cities are going electric, but infrastructure isn’t keeping up. From taxis to delivery fleets,
commercial operators are transitioning to EVs faster than charging networks can scale.
We’re fixing that. Hubber develops high powered charging hubs in dense urban locations where fleets
actually operate.
In the last 12 months, we’ve opened our first hubs, secured a £60m facility and signed an
ambitious partnership with Uber. Now we’re scaling rapidly and delivering hundreds of sites
requires a world-class construction function.
→ The Role
As Construction Lead, you will own how Hubber delivers construction across its entire portfolio –
from pre-construction through to build, energisation and handover.
You are responsible for setting the strategy, standards, and commercial approach that underpin
delivery. You will ensure we are working with the right contractors, at the right cost, with the right
level of performance.
You will lead the construction function and build a team, ensuring projects are delivered fast, on-
budget, safely, and to a consistently high standard.
You will work closely with leadership and operate alongside the Programme Manager to ensure
construction is fully aligned with programme and design requirements.
This role is critical to scaling a high-performing, repeatable construction model across a national
rollout.
