About Jared Grogan
EV Infrastructure | Clean Energy Operations | Public Funding Strategy | Veteran LeaderI’m a mission-driven operations and project leader with 15+ years of experience managing people, programs, and high-stakes logistics—from Army officer roles to Amazon to large-scale EV infrastructure deployments across the Midwest.Currently, I serve as a Project Manager with First Student, overseeing 12 infrastructure projects valued at over $30 million, deploying electric school buses, and helping secure more than $200 million in EPA grant funding. I collaborate with national vendors like Thomas Built Buses, Autel, and PXT to help school districts transition to clean transportation—on time, within budget, and built to scale.Before that, I led Amazon teams of over 100 employees and managed salaried leadership teams, applying Six Sigma and continuous improvement strategies to reduce inefficiencies and train new hires. My leadership roots go deeper still: 15 years as a U.S. Army officer, where I specialized in logistics, operations, and people-first leadership under pressure.I’m now looking for a senior role in either the public or private sector—ideally in EV, clean energy, transportation, or large-scale operations—where I can bring my experience, discipline, and drive for long-term impact. Open to hybrid or remote roles nationwide. Let’s connect if you\'re building something that needs leadership, momentum, and real-world execution.
