Build it. Lead it. Scale it.
This is not a role for someone looking to inherit an established operation. We’re looking for a founding Head of Operations to build and lead the UK operations function of a major new EV charging business — from the ground up.
With a significant portfolio of ultra-fast charging sites already in development, this is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in building one of the UK’s most ambitious public EV charging networks.
You’ll have the freedom to shape the operating model, build the team, drive delivery and turn strategy into reality.
The Opportunity
As the founding operational leader in the UK, you’ll:
- Build and lead the UK Operations team from scratch.
- Shape the operating model and delivery strategy.
- Lead the mobilisation, construction, commissioning and ongoing operation of the network.
- Build and manage relationships with contractors, suppliers and strategic partners.
- Own operational performance, KPIs, budgets and risk.
- Establish the systems, governance and processes needed to scale.
- Work closely with senior leadership and international teams to bring proven expertise into the UK.
- Help create a culture built around safety, quality, performance and customer experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a genuinely hands-on leadership role. You won’t simply set the strategy — you’ll be rolling up your sleeves, solving problems, building the organisation and making things happen.
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for an entrepreneurial operator with experience across EV charging, infrastructure, energy or a closely related sector.
You’ll ideally have:
- 4–8 years’ experience in EV charging, infrastructure delivery or a comparable environment.
- A track record of leading multidisciplinary operational teams.
- Strong understanding of public EV charging infrastructure.
- Experience with utilities, grid connections or electricity distribution.
- Experience managing contractors, suppliers and complex stakeholder groups.
- Strong commercial and financial awareness.
- Excellent leadership and decision-making skills.
- The appetite to build something new rather than simply manage what already exists.

- Building trusted relationships across contractors, suppliers, partners and the wider business.
Why This Role?
