  • Interpret OCPP logs, message flows, and system events to identify root causes and recommend corrective actions.
  • Translate platform-level technical findings into clear, actionable guidance for the support team and customer-facing communications.
  • Serve as the internal authority on how OCPP behavior maps to EVOLV platform functionality, ensuring support teams understand system behavior, limitations, and known issues.

Training & Knowledge Management

  • Develop and deliver structured training programs covering customer service best practices, troubleshooting methodologies, and OCPP fundamentals.
  • Ensure support specialists are equipped to independently resolve common EV charging and platform-related issues.
  • Create, maintain, and continuously improve internal documentation and company-wide knowledge base resources related to EV charging workflows and EVOLV platform behavior.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Reporting

  • Collaborate with the EVOLV platform development team, Service, Product, Sales, and Marketing to remain current on features, updates, and serviceability impacts.
  • Prepare and maintain reports and dashboards tracking KPIs such as ticket volume, issue categories, resolution time, escalation rates, SLA performance, and customer satisfaction.
  • Analyze support data to identify trends, recurring issues, and areas for improvement, present insights and recommendations to leadership.
  • Occasionally travel to customer sites to provide hands-on technical support for high-value customers and strengthen long-term relationships.

Required Qualifications

  • Proven experience leading customer service and/or technical support teams, including coaching, performance management, and scheduling.
  • Hands-on experience supporting OCPP-compliant EV charging systems, with demonstrated ability to troubleshoot real-world protocol and connectivity issues.
  • Strong working knowledge of OCPP 1.6J and/or 2.0.1 and how charger-to-backend communications impact customer experience.
  • Minimum of 5+ years of experience in technical support, customer support, or service operations roles.
