About:

Electric Era was founded to revolutionize the world's electric vehicle charging infrastructure. We have developed high performance and autonomous EV fast charging stations that can be deployed anywhere on the grid. We provide the necessary charging infrastructure innovation needed for the affordable and timely electrification of all transportation. We are accelerating the world into the Electric Era. Join us.

Role:

Electric Era is hiring a Traveling Electrician to support field commissioning and maintenance of our battery-backed DC fast charging stations.
