EV Fleet Analyst

ABOUT ZENOBE

Our mission is to make clean power accessible, to accelerate the shift to zero-carbon power and transport around the world. We are passionate about making a positive impact on communities and the environment where we work.

We’re designing, financing, building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the take up of more renewable power, electrifying fleets for cleaner air, and providing clean, portable power including repurposed electric vehicle batteries. Our proprietary software and data analysis optimises operational performance for our customers to reduce emissions and costs.

Since we began in 2017, we’ve raised over £2 billion in debt and equity funding and transformed it into >1GW of grid-connected batteries live or under contract and c.2,000 electric vehicles supported. We have operations in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Benelux, the USA and a global headquarters in London.

We’re the leading owner and operator of battery storage in the UK, supporting the National Grid with the uptake of renewable power. We also work with c.90% of the UK's major bus companies, powering 25% of the UK e-bus market. We’re also the number one owner and operator of e-buses in Australia and New Zealand, and are quickly expanding into light commercial vehicles and trucks. Our rapidly growing company is looking for highly talented and motivated people to join us.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are offering an exciting opportunity for outstanding candidates with a passion for fighting climate change to apply their degree skills to the real-life commercial deployment of energy storage and electric vehicle projects. In our rapidly growing company, adaptable, highly motivated and talented individuals will be given significant responsibility early-on.

The EV Fleet Analyst will work closely with our software, data, sales, electrical design and operational teams to successfully optimise the design and operations of EV fleet sites. Typical objectives include modelling EV fleets and depots for design specification and validation or for optimising the charging of vehicles, i.e. best use of charger scheduling and grid power to minimise the charging cost for vehicle operators whilst optimising the overall charging performance and maximising opportunity for smart-charging and V2G services for additional revenue. Delivery of these capabilities cover hypothetical pre-sales modelling for charging feasibility studies through to charging strategy implementation of live sites.

A TASTE OF THE DAY TO DAY

• Work with cross functional teams to effectively optimise the charging of our EV fleets through simulation & analysis.

• Work with business development, electrical design teams and directly with customers to simulate initial electrification feasibility and conducting cost-benefit analyses on system specification through to validating charging performance when signing off final electrical designs.

• Work with the software team to deploy simulation and analytics capabilities into automated pipelines linked with live data feedback and providing fleet performance insight or adapting future fleet strategies for continual improvement.

• Take ownership of a model (e.g. charging simulator, energy consumption prediction, cost prediction) which together make up our virtual optimisation suite.

• Contribute to shaping data pipelines from fleet telematics data acquisition to processing and model training.

• Engage with testing and operations team to devise instrumentation requirements and testing plans in support of model development and correlation (e.g. charging, battery degradation or vehicle energy consumption models).

• Continuously develop our analysis processes to increase efficiency and add value to all areas of the business.

Health and Safety

• Actively contribute to Zenobe's commitment to health and safety, wellbeing and sustainability by; integrating these principles into daily responsibilities, ensuring a safe and supportive work environment, promoting both the physical and mental health of self and colleagues, and adopting sustainable and energy-efficient practices to minimize environmental impact.
