How you will make Plan Zero happen

Mitie is passionate about bringing about positive change for our customers and aspires to be their decarbonisation partner as they embark on the journey to Net Zero.

You will work very closely with the EV Solutions team, which designs and implements EV charging infrastructure solutions for clients, and by being at the interface of the Consulting and Business Development teams, the role will ensure that advisory opportunities can move into the delivery and execution phase.

Identifying innovative and tailored solutions to support our clients' fleet decarbonisation ambitions

As part of your role, you will be:

Managing a suite of client facing transport decarbonisation projects
Preparing written client proposals to support decarbonising fleet
