Electrogenic is a world-leading designer and manufacturer of EV drivetrains. We make EV drive systems for Defence, car manufacturers and the classic car market. For classic cars, we develop and manufacture “drop-in” EV conversion kits which are installed by our partners worldwide.
To develop these kits and to carry out bespoke car conversions requires creativity and a deep understanding of classic vehicles. We have a reputation for our advanced technology, but also for the care we take with these historic vehicles and the elegance of our work.
We are a relatively small team (fewer than 25 people at the moment) and we have a supportive and fast-moving team culture, so successful candidates will need to contribute positively to this. We get involved in a lot of cool projects and are proud of our reputation as being the company you go to, to get (EV) things done.
Each of the positions below requires the ability to work diligently and without constant supervision to an extremely high standard, to able to use initiative where necessary but also work as part of a team. Candidates will require strong communication skills, both written and verbal, and good numeracy. We also work with a lot of new ideas and interesting clients, so it is important to understand the necessity for confidentiality. You also need to be excited about the possibilities of re-powering classic vehicles with all-electric drivetrains…
Each of the positions has a competitive salary, depending on experience, and we have a staff bonus scheme linked to the success of the business.
We are a young business in an exciting new market. This is an opportunity to be part of a small technology and service-lead team, who are creating something new. We look forward to hearing from you.

Production Manager
The role is to oversee and manage production across the company: “kits”, Defence, new vehicle prototypes and bespoke conversions. This means:
- Organising and project managing the manufacture of battery boxes, transmissions, etc. and assembling of “kits”, ready for shipping
- Planning and managing bespoke conversions
- Acting as technical lead to resolve issues that arise in the course of bespoke conversions
- Contributing technical experience to the design of our EV solutions.
The following departments will report to the Production Manager:
- Mechanical workshop
- Electrical workshop
- Kit production
- Design
- Research and Development
Design and R&D will also have a functional line into the CEO.
The Production Manager will be supported by the procurement function, which currently sits in the Finance Department.
The Production Manager will be an important support to the Sales and Marketing functions, which take the lead on customer and media communications.
The ideal candidate will have the following experience:
- At least five years of hands-on mechanical work on classic vehicles
- At least five years’ experience in a in a production role or project management, preferably in a manufacturing environment.
Mechanical Workshop
The mechanical workshop carries out all the mechanical fitting of vehicles that come though electrogenic and is a key part of the prototyping and design process, as well as carrying out the mechanical work to convert and finish our bespoke projects.
Converting a vehicle to EV is an interactive process, whereby our design team works with the mechanic allocated to the project to decide how to fit all the EV elements in a car, metal is cut for the major components and then all the support systems – brake servos, cooling systems, power steering, heating, aircon, etc. are sourced, fabricated and fitted in the workshop. Once the build is mechanically complete, all modifications and additions to the CAD design are scanned and logged, so we have a permanent record for next time. The vehicle is then passed on to the electrical workshop for wiring and commissioning.
For a sense of scale, planned staffing levels in the mechanical workshop for 2024 are two Senior Mechanics, two Mechanics, two Apprentices and an assistant.
Senior Mechanic
The role is:
- to be responsible for and to carry out the mechanical build of prototype cars and bespoke vehicle conversions
- to conceive how to fit all the necessary systems into the vehicle and contribute to the mechanical design process
- to design and fabricate motor mounts, mounting brackets for vehicle auxiliaries, air-conditioning, etc. and finish the vehicle ready for the electrical work
Electrogenic is proud of its apprentice system and develops its apprentices fast to become key parts of the team. Senior Mechanics have responsibility for developing the skills of our apprentices, who also attend the Heritage Skills Academy and are expected to share their expertise with other mechanics as required.
The ideal candidate will have the following experience:
- At least ten years in a “resto-mod” environment. The ability to conceive of new solutions and how to fit them to a vehicle is crucial to this role
- Strong fabrication capabilities

- to design and fabricate motor mounts, mounting brackets for vehicle auxiliaries, etc. and finish the vehicle ready for the electrical work
The ideal candidate will have the following experience:
- At least five years in a classic car or “resto-mod” environment. The ability to conceive of new solutions and how to fit them to a vehicle is crucial to this role.
- Strong fabrication capabilities
Vehicle Electrician
The role is:
- to be responsible for and to carry out the electrical wiring for prototype cars and bespoke vehicle conversions
- to contribute to the electrical design process
Converting a vehicle to EV is an interactive process involving teams across the whole company. Once the mechanical build is complete, the vehicle is passed to the electrical workshop for electrical completion. This means:
- identifying any issues in the existing 12V loom, fixing them and adding radios, etc. per the customer’s requirements
- creating and installing wiring looms for the control of the EV system and for the instrumentation
- making and installing the high-voltage connections
The electrical department is also where battery boxes, power distribution units, dashboard control systems and all the other detailed power electronics are built. The opportunity in this role is to contribute and to learn all of the high voltage architecture and processes.
The ideal candidate will have the following experience:
- At least ten years working on classic car electrical systems.
