Project Manager – DNO

We are a leading charge point provider and operator for electric vehicles in the UK, managing over 5,000 public charge points. We are committed to providing reliable, convenient and affordable charging infrastructure that is accessible to all, particularly the 40% of UK households without private driveways that rely on public charging.

We believe our employees are the electric spark igniting our success. We’re dedicated to our culture, and ensure that every individual feels charged up and empowered to accelerate their career which is why we have been recognised as a "Great Place to Work" and a "Living Wage Employer". Together, we’re shaping the future as society’s preferred EV charging network.

In 2026 Char.gy expects to continue to be awarded multiple contracts with Local Government organisations and private landlords to deploy Charging Points (CPs) across the UK and ultimately expect to deploy 100,000 CPs by 2031.
