Network Optimisation Manager
We are looking for a Network Optimisation Manager to lead the function responsible for turning network data, technical evidence, incident learning and asset intelligence into measurable improvement across the GRIDSERVE EV charging network. This is a senior operational leadership role, not a passive reporting role. The successful candidate will lead Tier 2, Tier 3, the Interoperability Lab and EV technical asset management activity, with direct accountability for improving reliability, availability, remote resolution, supplier escalation quality and cost to serve. The JD defines the role as responsible for converting fault trends and asset insight into permanent corrective action and verified operational benefit.
A career in GRIDSERVE Operations is for people who want to build, improve and operate critical infrastructure with purpose. We are moving beyond reactive maintenance into disciplined, data-led operational maturity: understanding root causes, removing recurring failure modes and creating a network that customers can rely on. This is a team where ownership matters, evidence matters, and leadership means creating the conditions for others to think clearly, act decisively and improve the system around them.
