The Smart Programme is responsible for a plan of over £300m of funded investment in smart meter infrastructure over the next 5 years.

What you'll be doing

You'll lead and develop a highly efficient GB-wide logistics network for metering assets, devices, and supply chain services, including reverse logistics—retrieving, triaging, and disposing of faulty equipment from the field. Whilst developing cost-reduction strategies for prematurely removed meters, focusing on Early Termination Charges and broken units.

Furthermore, you will liaise with the Technical team to determine test schedules for new technology releases and sampling of faulty meters to identify common trends within the metering infrastructure.

What you'll bring

The job requires proven leadership in logistics or industrial environments, with expertise in meter refurbishment and stock control.
