Head of Project Development

**ABOUT ZENOBE**

Our goal is to make clean power accessible, to accelerate the shift to zero carbon power and transport.

We’re building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the uptake of more renewable power and accelerating fleet electrification, de-risking the transition to zero-emission transport at scale. We’ve been consistently innovative since we were founded in 2017, achieving major industry firsts and using proprietary software and data analysis to optimise operational performance for our customers. At the end of their life, we repurpose electric vehicle batteries to provide clean power at depots, on construction sites and film sets.

Today we have 730 MW of grid scale battery storage operational and under construction and we are the largest owner and operator of EV buses in the UK, Australia and New Zealand, supporting over 1,250 electric vehicles worldwide. Our Network Infrastructure division is the UK’s leading owner, operator and developer of transmission connected storage and has won numerous awards for its innovative battery energy storage projects.

Zenobe Australia is already the leading EV fleet owner and operator in Australia and New Zealand. We are now ready to launch our Network Infrastructure business in these markets. We are therefore looking for our first locally based hires in the Network Infrastructure team to join the existing EV team in Australia.
