Recruiting and onboarding the core UK Operations function.

Establishing the operating model, governance and delivery framework.

Getting sites live.

Mobilising construction and operations across the initial portfolio, supporting the successful commissioning of 180+ ultra-fast charging sites under signed commitments .
