Socotec is hiring a
Business Development Manager

Buying a used car has been essentially the same for 75 years: what’s the mileage, what’s the vehicle history, get a mechanic to check out the moving parts and haggle over the price. As electric vehicles (EVs) hit the used market, buyers are changing the way they research and buy. Mileage is less important than how the battery is performing and how far an EV can go on a full charge.

Recurrent is the industry standard for how used EVs are assessed, valued, bought and sold across all areas of the used vehicle ecosystem.
