Engineering Manager

Elestor is looking for a Engineering Manager with the right mindset to join the team! Are you ready to make a change while traveling the world?

Imagine a world without polluting power plants, powered purely by clean electricity. This world is closer than you think. The sun and the wind are powerful enough, and so are the technologies to harvest their energy. However, possibilities to store renewable energy (sustainably and cost-effectively) are lacking; electricity storage is ‘the missing link’ in the energy transition. It is Elestor's mission to cut the cost of electricity storage.

We develop large-scale, cost-effective H  storage technologies that are carbon neutral and durable, thereby unifying the interests of the Planet, the People, and business Profitability. We reduced the cost of storing electricity to an absolute minimum. Our batteries are made in accordance with a simple strategy. We are using low cost and abundant active materials such as hydrogen and bromine.

We use a compact cell. And we have a patented pressurized system design. We are located at Industrial Park Kleefse Waard in Arnhem. A hotspot when it comes to the energy transition and we contribute to accelerating it. We have the technology to play a decisive role in realizing a 100% clean electricity supply. If you want to contribute to the energy transition, Kleefse Waard is the perfect place!

Job Description
First things first! It is important that you are willing to move to Arnhem. Elestor is a renowned company and is willing to help you with a work visa. If you are not willing to move, we ask you not to apply.

As Engineering Manager at Elestor, you will find yourself in a highly dynamic and on-the-move environment. You are ultimately responsible for executing R&D and Engineering projects, ensuring the successful product development of Elestor's revolutionary H  flow battery. You will plan and coordinate (research and engineering) projects, develop strategies, manage budgets, and coach and supervise teams. The highly skilled and passionate Team Leaders report to you, and you are standing side by side with them and the team members on the front line of this exciting development.

In the role of Engineering Manager, you must be both technically savvy and possess skills in developing strong working relationships with people. Having empathy for your team and helping them through technical, organizational, and personal challenges is one of the primary mandates (helping team members get unstuck). In practice, this means you will spend your time supporting the Team Leaders with solving technical problems, empowering the teams to let them achieve great things, being the source of calm, and over communicating priorities to get everyone aligned on a clear path forward.

The Engineering Manager reports to the CEO. You will be part of an intrinsically motivated team and work on a new class of large-scale assets (H  flow batteries). With a proactive and cooperative attitude, your contribution will be essential and have a decisive impact on rolling out a critical system for Long Duration Energy Storage. A solution that must and will be deployed massively in the very near future!
