Future Mobility

Decarbonising transport takes more than new technology, it takes visionary teams.

Brightsmith builds the leadership teams driving the shift to cleaner, smarter transport systems. From electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to Mobility as a Service, autonomous vehicles, and sustainable aviation and maritime solutions, we partner with innovators reimagining how people and goods move in a net zero world.

As future mobility scales from pilot to mainstream, we deliver tailored talent strategies that match your stage and ambition. We understand the unique complexity across the sector, the fast-paced, user-driven nature of EVs and MaaS, the integration challenges of AVs, the grid and permitting constraints facing charging rollout, and the long timelines and cross-border demands of decarbonising heavy transport.

Electric Vehicles

EVs have hit mainstream momentum, yet scaling complex supply chains, software systems, and user platforms remains a talent challenge. OEMs, startups, and fleet operators seek experts in battery integration, vehicle platforms, embedded software, and fleet operations who can balance innovation with regulatory compliance under tight delivery schedules.

Charging Infrastructure

Charging rollout is held back by permitting delays, grid connections, and funding gaps, requiring leaders who navigate technical complexity, utility partnerships, and land development. Demand is high for high-voltage installers, PMs experienced in site planning, and strategists in interoperability, demand response, and bidirectional charging models.

Mobility as a Service

MaaS is reshaping urban transport through integrated apps, payment platforms, and real-time data. Scaling solutions across regions demands talent with expertise in digital ecosystems, multimodal logistics, and public-private partnerships. High demand exists for commercial leaders, mobility platform architects, and specialists in user experience, behavioural data, and transport economics.

Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous tech is progressing fast, but commercial deployment requires more than engineering breakthroughs. Companies need leaders who bridge software, safety, regulation, and systems integration. Key roles include AI/ML experts, AV safety engineers, simulation specialists, and regulatory strategists who can guide pilots, secure approvals, and scale AV programmes globally.

Aviation & Maritime

Heavy transport sectors are turning to sustainable aviation fuels, hybridisation, and electrification to cut emissions, yet regulation, investment hurdles, and technical barriers persist. Organisations need leaders experienced in SAF development, vessel retrofit and port electrification, with strong policy, partnership, and long-term investment modelling skills. Brightsmith places talent who navigate global standards, manage complex stakeholder networks, and drive infrastructure-heavy innovation in aviation and maritime.
