Climbing out of ZZZ on the ZZZZZ2 RNAV Departure. The departure lists the fix ZZZZZ as cross at or below. As monitoring pilot I was waiting for the hand off from Tower to Departure. Tower was busy handling other aircraft; and sometimes they hang on to you a little longer than normal. My mind was fixed on listening for the hand off; and wondering why we didn't get it. Not to mention I am brand new to the aircraft and have not flown much in the last several months. I finally decided to switch to Departure on my own and about that time I noticed the autothrottles retarding. I realized what had happened; the flying pilot had overlooked the level off and we crossed the fix 600-700 feet high. I contacted Departure and we continued the flight without further incident.
Air Carrier First Officer reported an altitude deviation during departure and cited poor CRM and lack of flying as contributing factors.
