🏢 About Electra

Electra is accelerating Europe's transition to electric vehicles by building a vast, high-speed charging network across the continent. What makes them unique is their focus on strategic expansion in key European markets, with Prague serving as a central hub for their Czech operations. Working here means contributing directly to sustainable transportation infrastructure at a critical moment in the EV revolution.

About This Role

This Project Manager role involves overseeing the entire lifecycle of charging station construction in the Czech Republic, from feasibility studies and permitting to coordinating on-site partners and ensuring projects reach 'ready-to-build' status. The role is impactful because you'll be directly responsible for expanding Electra's charging network in Prague and surrounding areas, enabling more drivers to adopt electric vehicles through reliable infrastructure.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing progress on multiple charging station projects across Prague, followed by coordinating with local authorities on permit applications and conducting site feasibility assessments. You'd spend afternoons in meetings with internal sales teams, external partners, and network operators, while tracking budgets and KPIs to ensure projects stay on schedule for their 'ready-to-build' milestones.
