The Project Manager & Network Operations – HPC / Flash Charging leads the end-to-end deployment and operational integration of BYD’s High-Power Charging (HPC) / Flash Charging stations across the assigned country or region.
The role requires strong experience in large-scale EV charging or similar infrastructure deployment, BESS integration, and an established network of installers, EPCs, and construction partners.
Key Responsibilities
Deployment & Execution
* Drive massive rollout of BYD Flash Charging sites, ensuring on-time, on-budget, and safe delivery.
* Coordinate all phases: permitting, civil works, electrical installation, grid connection, BESS installation, and commissioning.
* Manage project budgets, schedules, risks, and contractor performance across multiple parallel sites.
Installer & Construction Ecosystem
* Build and maintain a qualified national/regional partner network (installers, EPCs, civil-works companies).
* Lead RFI/RFQ processes, negotiate contracts, and enforce BYD installation and quality standards.
* Implement standardized deployment methods to ensure speed, scalability, and repeatable quality.
Technical Leadership
* Act as the primary technical point of contact for HPC chargers, BESS systems, site power design, and integration.
* Support engineering reviews (single-line diagrams, load studies, grounding, communication systems).
* Provide on-site guidance and troubleshooting during installation and commissioning.
Network Operations
* Oversee operational monitoring and ensure smooth integration of new stations into the live network.
* Coordinate preventive and corrective maintenance with service partners to ensure high uptime.
* Maintain accurate site documentation, as-built files, and commissioning records.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
* Work closely with Real Estate, Engineering, Energy, Procurement, and Finance teams.
* Share field insights to improve deployment guidelines, BESS integration workflows, and future product designs.
* Ensure alignment with corporate best practices and regulatory requirements.
Requirements
Must-Have
* 5+ years experience in deploying EV charging, BESS, PV, telecom, or comparable multi-site electrical infrastructure.
* Proven delivery of large-scale deployment programs (10–100+ sites).
* Practical experience with Battery Energy Storage Systems (design, installation, commissioning).
* Established network of local installers, EPCs, grid contractors, and construction companies.
* Strong technical knowledge of LV/MV electrical systems, grid connections, civil works, and commissioning.
* Strong project-management capabilities (PMP/Prince2 is a plus).
* Ability to travel frequently across the country/region.
Nice-to-Have
* Experience with HPC chargers, liquid-cooled systems, or substation-level installations.
* Background in high-growth deployment organizations (e.g., Tesla, Fastned, IONITY, Enel X).
* Knowledge of local permitting and utility requirements.
