Security System Specialist

The Company – Milence

Established in July 2022, we are dedicated to making the future of road transport fossil-free. By building and managing reliable and secure high-performance charging solutions, our mission is to support and accelerate the transition to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in Europe. The team is working quickly to scale up operations and network deployment.

As a fast-growing company, we want to build diverse teams who are dedicated to our vision: a world of fossil-free transport, which will go on to combat climate change.

With a focus on sustainable growth and the best possible collaboration among all stakeholders, we are looking for colleagues eager to make an impact and ready to support and accelerate the zero-emission future of road transport in Europe. 

While our Dutch offices are in Amsterdam and Arnhem, our focus is distinctly pan-European and our team is growing throughout the continent.

The Department

The CTO Department is responsible for all the technical solutions in our hardware value chain. This ranges from the charging and energy storage technology to the entry-gate and security solutions. This also includes cyber security, digital and energy related services. This is why our department needs to be populated with experts covering all kind of subjects. We are at the beginning of building a Pan-European charging network for battery-electric long-haul trucks. Nothing has been set yet, all is to be discovered and built. This is also our main challenge since both the trucks and the charging solutions are still in development. We do know that the electric trucks will require an enormous amount of energy and that the reliability of chargers is key to be successful. This also includes the ability to charge all trucks regardless of their make or platform.

This is why we need to work closely with our suppliers and the truck OEMs in this new challenge. In our team, we work closely with the other teams within Milence to ensure we have and develop the right solutions for our portfolio. We will also be working in close alignment with market parties to steer the market where needed and develop the best solutions for our network.

The job will be based in our Amsterdam and/or Arnhem office.
