Delivery Operations Manager

Bauer Energy is driving the transition to cleaner transport by delivering innovative, reliable, and scalable Electric Vehicle Charging Point (EVCP) infrastructures. Through our EVCP Solutions division, we partner with clients, landlords, and network operators to design, install, and maintain high-quality charge point networks that enable a sustainable energy future.
