How to apply for Technicien de maintenance bornes de recharge (Operations Technician)

About Eranovum

Eranovum builds and operates renewable energy and EV charging infrastructure. The company manages a network of 300+ charging points and is expanding. This role supports that growth by keeping the network operational.

About the role

You will be the on-the-ground operations technician in France for a network of 300+ charging points. You report functionally to the Operations Manager in Madrid. The job centers on commissioning, maintenance oversight, service provider management, and hitting >99% uptime.

A typical day

You might start by checking uptime reports and contractor KPIs for charging points across France. Later you could coordinate with a technical service provider on a maintenance issue or review invoices against contract terms. You would report findings and escalate problems to the Operations Manager in Madrid.

Who Eranovum is looking for

• Fluent professional English and French; working knowledge of Spanish is a plus for coordination with Madrid and Spanish-speaking partners.
• Experience managing technical service providers (TSPs) and third-party contractors against SLAs and KPIs.
• Hands-on background in EV charging infrastructure, electrical systems, or field maintenance operations.
• Comfortable working remotely across France while reporting to a manager in Madrid and coordinating with international manufacturers.

Tips for this application

• State your French and English fluency level clearly at the top of your CV, since both are mandatory for technical coordination.
• Mention any Spanish language ability, even if basic, because the job description says it is highly valued.
• List specific examples of managing TSPs or contractors, including SLA targets you were responsible for.
• Reference charging point commissioning or maintenance experience directly, not just general electrical or field service work.
• Note that the role is remote but based in France and reports to Madrid; confirm you can work in that setup.

What to cover in your cover letter

Your cover letter should cover four points: your French and English fluency (and Spanish if applicable), your experience managing technical service providers against SLAs, your hands-on knowledge of EV charging or electrical infrastructure maintenance, and your ability to work remotely while coordinating with a Madrid-based operations manager.

Research before applying

• Find out how many charging points Eranovum operates in France specifically, since the 300+ figure is network-wide.
• Look into Eranovum's asset management structure and who the Operations Manager in Madrid reports to.
• Research the main charging point manufacturers Eranovum works with, since the role involves coordination with international manufacturers.
• Check Eranovum's recent news or announcements about French network expansion to understand current priorities.

Likely interview topics

Based on the job description, expect questions about:

• How you would enforce SOPs from the corporate Asset Management department across a distributed network in France.
• A specific example of managing a TSP or contractor that missed SLA targets and what you did.
• How you monitor contractor KPIs and service quality standards for a network targeting >99% uptime.
• Your technical experience with charging point commissioning, maintenance, or troubleshooting.
• How you handle cost control and invoicing oversight for maintenance and service provider work.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Applying without confirming French and English fluency, since both are mandatory for this role.
• Focusing only on general electrical or field service experience without mentioning EV charging infrastructure or TSP management.
• Ignoring the reporting structure to Madrid and the remote setup in France, which are central to how this role works.
