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. We have operations in the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the US and Canada, with 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.

• Lead the commissioning team in the execution of all on-site and off-site commissioning activities. SW configuration, FW validation, authentication, CMS integration, testing, and commissioning
• Maintain and update the technical commissioning baseline as the product evolves. Ensuring the team is briefed and equipped before any product change reaches a live site
• Define and own the exit and acceptance criteria for every project, ensuring no project reaches handover without criteria that were set before commissioning started
• Identify where off-site pre-assembly and testing can reduce on-site risk. Work cross functionally to define the testing protocol and quality standard before it is contracted
• Build and maintain a repeatable commissioning process. Documented, version-controlled, and used by the team on every project
• Develop the SOW commissioning scope inputs for procurement. Support the definition of the specific activities, deliverables, and quality standards that must appear in every contractor RFQ

• Identify skill gaps as the commissioning model evolves, particularly as contractor delivery absorbs execution tasks and the internal team shifts toward technical oversight and quality assurance
• Build internal capability in QMS application, third-party testing oversight, and data package quality
• Report commissioning performance to the Director of Delivery on a defined cycle, first-time completion rate, data package quality, contractor performance against scope, and transition phase progress
