Job description
ABOUT ZENOBE
Our goal is to make clean power accessible, to accelerate the shift to zero carbon power and transport.
We’re building and operating the world’s most sophisticated battery systems to enable the take up of more renewable power, electrifying fleets for cleaner air, repurposing electric vehicle batteries for clean portable power and creating proprietary software and data analysis to optimise operational performance for our customers.
Today we have 425 MW of operational and under construction grid scale battery capacity and are the largest owner and operator of EV buses in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Zenobe is expanding into other markets such as the USA. In our first five years we have raised nearly £1billion in funding and our rapidly growing company is looking for highly talented and motivated people to join us.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are offering an exciting opportunity for outstanding graduates with a passion for fighting climate change to apply their degree skills to the real-life commercial deployment of energy storage and electric vehicle projects. In our rapidly growing company, adaptable, highly motivated and talented interns will be given significant responsibility early-on. We have a good track record of employing paid interns who have often gone on to be offered full time employment upon completion of the internship.
The Intern will work closely with our analytics, software and operational teams to successfully optimise operations of EV fleet sites. Typical objectives include optimising the charging of vehicles, best use of charger scheduling and grid power to minimise the charging cost for vehicle operators whilst optimising the overall charging performance and maximising opportunity for smart-charging and V2G services for additional revenue. Delivery of these capabilities cover hypothetical pre-sales modelling for charging feasibility studies through to live fleet data analysis, forecast modelling and optimal charging strategy implementation in software.
A TASTE OF THE DAY TO DAY
- Work with cross functional teams to effectively optimise operations of EV fleets through simulation & analysis, optimising charging performance.
- Work with large fleet datasets to train machine-learning models predicting battery degredation and vehicle energy consumption.
- Work with the business development and operational teams to provide in depth modelling insights on fleet sites for both design-phase and live operational projects.
- Work with the software team to deploy simulation and analytics capabilities into automated pipelines linked with live data feedback and providing fleet performance insight or adapting future fleet strategies for continual improvement.
