We're Pod - one of the UK's leading EV charging providers, trusted by over 250,000 customers and powering more than 5 million miles every single day. But behind the numbers is a team of passionate people working together to shape a smarter, more sustainable future.

We started off in 2009 as Pod Point, helping people make the switch to electric as EVs began to hit the road. Today, we're leading the way into a smarter energy future. As part of the EDF family - the UK's biggest generator of zero-carbon electricity - we have the strength and stability to grow for the future.

And we've started that growth already. In 2026, we welcomed EO Charging into the Pod family, bringing together Pod's strengths in home, workplace, public and smart charging with EO's specialist fleet and depot charging technology. The acquisition significantly expands our commercial fleet and energy management capabilities. Together, Pod and EO are helping logistics, transport and operational fleet customers electrify at scale, optimise charging performance and make better use of existing grid capacity.

Pod is the next evolution of Pod Point. As electrification becomes everyday, Pod is here to help build a brighter future for society by managing the flow of energy, making it affordable, accessible, and for the benefit of everyone. With 250,000 customers already trusting us to be at the heart of their EV life, we see Pod playing a leading role in the UK's increasingly electrified future. Our focus is on powering not just homes and vehicles, but local communities and social progress.

Pod is here to help build a brighter future for society by managing the flow of energy, making it affordable, accessible, and for the benefit of everyone.

This is a brilliant opportunity to lead some of the most critical infrastructure projects in the UK's energy transition at a pivotal moment in our growth. You'll have real ownership from day one, taking the lead on complex, high-value programmes that directly shape how EV charging scales nationally.

You'll be responsible for:
  • Own End-to-End Project Delivery - You'll oversee the entire pipeline of high-power DC charging depot infrastructure deployment from site survey through design and delivery to final handover
  • Manage Contracts with Confidence -You'll act as the main administrator for NEC short-form contracts, handling instructions, compensation events, and payment assessments
  • Coordinate Grid Connections - you'll work closely with DNOs and IDNOs to secure capacity at scale, managing applications, technical approvals, and delivery of network upgrades
  • Lead Contractor and Supplier Delivery - you'll appoint and manage civil contractors, electrical installers, and hardware partners, ensuring alignment on scope, programme, cost, and quality
  • Drive Programme Performance - you'll build and maintain detailed project plans, balancing timelines, dependencies, and cost loading to keep delivery on track
  • Own Financial Outcomes - you'll manage budgets, procurement, and forecasting, providing clear reporting on cost, value, and risk throughout the project lifecycle
  • Ensure Safety and Quality Standards - you'll champion HSE best practice across all sites, ensuring full compliance with CDM regulations and internal quality expectations
  • Drive Stakeholder Alignment - You'll work closely with internal teams, clients, DNOs, contractors, and delivery partners to keep projects moving, solve issues quickly, and ensure everyone stays aligned on scope, timelines, and outcomes
  • Manage Risk and Remove Delivery Blockers-You'll identify project risks early, from grid delays to site conditions and supply chain constraints, and put clear mitigation plans in place to protect programme, cost, and quality.

What You'll Bring:
  • Proven Project Delivery Experience - 3+ years of proven project management experience specifically within high-power DC rapid charging depots, utility-scale renewables, or heavy electrical infrastructure. Experience delivering complex infrastructure projects, ideally within EV charging, utilities, renewables, or heavy electrical environments
  • NEC Contract Expertise - Hands-on experience managing NEC contracts, including variations, compensation events, and commercial risk
  • Strong Technical Understanding - Strong understanding of high-power DC charging technology (150kW-400kW+), liquid-cooled cabling, power sharing architectures, BESS and LV/MV distribution systems
  • Grid Connection Knowledge - Familiarity with DNO processes, contestable works, and large-scale power connections
  • Project Management Credentials - Formal certification such as PRINCE2 or PMP, or equivalent practical experience delivering complex programmes
  • HSE&Q Knowledge - Good understanding of site safety regulations (CDM regulations), including Principle Designer and Contractor roles
  • Commercial and Problem-Solving Mindset - Strong commercial acumen to manage contractor rates and equipment procurement under strict contractual frameworks
  • Mobility and Flexibility - Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel to sites nationwide.

What's in it for you?
  • Access for you and up to 5 family/friends to the 'UnMind' wellbeing platform
  • Podpoint Charger
  • Discounted energy tariff (Pod Power or EDF Employee Programme)
  • Flexible hybrid working model
