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.

- Lead the construction function
- Manage and develop a team
- Ensure consistent performance, accountability, and standards across all sites
- Support teams in resolving complex delivery challenges
- Ensure delivery performance
- Oversee construction delivery across the portfolio
- Ensure projects are delivered safely, on programme, and to required quality standards
- Identify systemic issues and implement improvements across projects
- Drive standardisation and scale
- Standardise processes, documentation, and delivery approaches
- Implement lessons learned across the portfolio
- Continuously improve speed, cost, and reliability of construction delivery
- Collaborate across functions
- Work closely with the Programme Manager to align on timelines and delivery priorities
- Partner with the Design Manager to ensure designs are buildable and cost-effective
- Provide input into sequencing, capacity, and rollout strategy
