- Experience in EV charging, mobile power, distributed energy, or fleet infrastructure
- Experience working in a fast-scaling, deployment-heavy operating environment (vs. traditional slow-moving construction permitting)
- Background working cross-functionally with Implementation/PM teams on hard launch-date deadlines
