Senior EHS Contracts & Enablement Specialist, Commercial Energy (APAC)

What to Expect

Reporting to the Director of Energy, Charging and Distribution, EHS, you will primarily support the Asia-Pacific (APAC) market, with secondary support to Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and close partnership with peers in North America. You will work with Commercial Energy business development to de-risk customer contracts, build enablement resources that accelerate sales bids, and strengthen Tesla's contractor management framework, helping drive global harmonisation through shared tools, guidance, and consistent EHS standards.
