Due to the nature of this role, you are required to be based in and around Newcastle. As a result this role will be predominantly field based, out on the road within your area, auditing our partners, and installers on site at regular intervals, alongside time working from home.
Here's what our QA Team Leader had to say:
“This is a great opportunity for someone who knows what good looks like when it comes to electrical installations and wants to have a real impact. You’ll have the autonomy to be out in the field, working closely with our installation partners, sharing your expertise and helping us continuously raise the bar on quality and safety. You don’t need to come from the EV industry, if you bring strong electrical knowledge, a coaching mindset and pride in high standards, we’ll help you build your expertise in EV.”
- Overseeing testing, commissioning, and handover of charging units
- Performing random quality audits to maintain consistency across installers and contractors

You’ll become a trusted technical voice in the field, helping installers raise standards, solve problems and deliver great work for our customers.
