What will you do?

You will apply your project management skills to coordinate the design, build, test, and deployment of advanced energy storage systems. The energy transition requires more than just generating renewable power — it demands smart, reliable systems to store and control it.

As a Project Manager, you take ownership of complex flywheel energy storage systems (FESS) and guide them from design through to commissioning. You are a technically oriented project manager who connects disciplines rather than specializing in just one. You use your technical foundation to bring structure, make decisions, and keep projects moving forward in a complex and fast-paced environment. Every system we deliver contributes directly to stabilizing energy grids and unlocking more renewable energy.

You manage 2 to 4 projects simultaneously within a small, multidisciplinary team in a matrix organization. This is not a hierarchical role, you don’t manage people, but you do take full ownership in guiding them. From design to commissioning, you keep projects on track by aligning stakeholders, maintaining clear plans, and resolving issues as they arise. You act as the central point of coordination between engineering, operations, suppliers, and the customer. In practice, this means you will:

  • Own the full project lifecycle, including planning, scope, and delivery
  • Act as the main point of contact for customers and manage expectations and commitments
  • Coordinate internal teams and external suppliers, including procurement and BOM ownership
  • Ensure all components, resources, and conditions are in place for successful system build
  • Bring structure and clarity to complex projects by defining configurations and next steps
  • Step in when issues arise; solving problems, aligning stakeholders, and keeping momentum
  • Coordinate testing activities (component, subsystem, and full system level)
  • Capture and document learnings to help scale processes and improve future projects
  • You will occasionally visit customers, including 1–2 (inter)national trips per year.

What makes this role so interesting?
You will work on first-of-a-kind systems where standard solutions don’t yet exist. That means real ownership and the opportunity to shape how projects are run as the company grows. Direct impact on accelerating the energy transition. Work at the intersection of engineering, operations, and customer delivery in close collaboration with the CTO, especially in the the early stages. A role where you are a driving force behind the company’s success

Who are we looking for?
You see the bigger picture and understand how your work connects to others. You combine technical understanding with strong organizational skills and a pragmatic, hands-on mindset. You are comfortable making decisions, setting priorities, and navigating ambiguity. You take initiative, communicate clearly, and bring structure and calm to complex situations.
