Job description

Independent energy is here. Help us deploy it.

Energy should be free. Free from aging grids, fragile supply chains, and unnecessary extraction. At Moment Energy, we’re building a world where clean power is abundant, affordable, and uninterrupted for everyone.

The world doesn’t need another promise about energy; it needs proof that a freer future is possible. Moment Energy is the pragmatic liberator of power, the only company certified to turn the largest untapped energy supply into independent energy.

Now is the moment. While the industry scraps millions of batteries with decades of life left, we put them to work by repurposing large-format batteries into advanced battery energy storage systems that deliver real-world impact.

We were told second-life batteries would never be safe enough or scalable enough. We didn’t argue, we engineered the solution. Today, Moment Energy delivers 5x the energy density and holds the certifications required to deploy energy independence at scale.

Now is the moment. Join us.

The Role

The Inventory Controller is responsible for ensuring we know what materials we have, where they are, how they are being used, and when we need to replenish them. This role will control the flow of materials into and out of inventory, maintain accurate records in our ERP system, and establish processes that improve inventory accountability and availability.

You'll work closely with Manufacturing, Engineering, and Supply Chain to understand material consumption, identify inventory needs, and make recommendations that help optimize stock levels. This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, comfortable working with data, and enjoys building practical systems and processes in a growing manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Own inventory accuracy and control, ensuring materials coming into and leaving the warehouse are properly received, recorded, tracked, and accounted for.
• Establish and maintain clear inventory control processes so materials are consistently tracked from receipt through consumption.
• Ensure received materials are accurately and promptly entered into the ERP system and transferred to the appropriate inventory location.
• Maintain appropriate receiving documentation and traceability for incoming materials.
• Coordinate with Supply Chain, Quality, and Engineering when materials require inspection, quarantine, or additional verification before being released to inventory.
• Develop and maintain inventory tracking tools using Google Sheets, Excel, and other data management tools where additional tracking or analysis is required.
• Analyze inventory trends and consumption patterns to optimize stock levels and reduce excess, shortages, and obsolete inventory.
• Track what materials are being consumed, where they are going, and by whom, maintaining accountability throughout the production process.
• Conduct regular inventory counts and investigate discrepancies between physical inventory and ERP records.
• Identify the root causes of inventory discrepancies and implement improvements to prevent recurring issues.
• Partner with Supply Chain to provide data-driven recommendations for purchasing and replenishment.
• Work closely with Production and Engineering to understand material requirements and improve visibility into inventory consumption.
• Develop and continuously improve the company's inventory management processes and systems as Moment Energy scales.
• Support receiving, material handling, and warehouse activities approximately 10–15% of the time, including moving and organizing materials as needed.
• Maintain an organized and controlled inventory area to improve material availability, accountability, and operational efficiency.
• Adapt to changes in ERP systems and processes as Moment Energy continues to scale its operations and evolve its systems.

The Candidate

We’re looking for individuals with the following traits, skills, and experiences:

• 3–7 years of experience working in inventory control, materials management, warehouse operations, supply chain, or a similar role within a manufacturing environment.
• Demonstrated experience managing and tracking physical inventory and material movement.
• Experience working with an ERP or inventory management system; experience maintaining accurate system records is strongly preferred.
• Strong proficiency with Google Sheets and/or Microsoft Excel, including using spreadsheets to organize, analyze, and track inventory data.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to maintain accuracy across a large number of components and materials.
• Comfortable working with data and using inventory history and consumption trends to identify replenishment needs.
• Ability to develop and improve processes rather than simply follow existing procedures.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, and other teams.
• Comfortable holding others accountable to inventory processes and controls.
• Ability to work in a hands-on manufacturing and warehouse environment and support material handling activities when required.
• A degree or diploma is not required. Relevant certifications, technical coursework, or demonstrated experience with inventory, ERP, Microsoft Office, or similar systems are considered an asset.
• Adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-growing environment where systems and processes are continually evolving.

Nice-to-Have Experience:

• Experience working in a technical manufacturing environment involving mechanical and/or electrical components.
• Familiarity with BOMs, engineering drawings, part numbers, revisions, and engineering change processes.
• Experience with lithium-ion batteries, energy storage systems, or other complex electromechanical products is an asset.
• Familiarity with DFM/DFS concepts and product certification requirements such as UL1973, UL9540, or UL9540A is considered an asset.
• Today, we’re delivering 5x the energy density and have all the certifications needed to ship energy independence to the world.
• Be part of a mission-driven company focused on creating sustainable energy solutions and making a positive impact on the world.
• Collaborate closely with passionate co-founders and a team committed to innovation and excellence.
• Contribute to building and scaling a company from the ground up, where your work will have a direct and meaningful impact.
• Thrive in a workplace that values collaboration, wellness, and celebrating successes, with regular company socials, fitness sessions, and more.

Our Values

Our values are key to how we show up every day at Moment Energy! We keep them in the forefront of what we do, and they’re used everywhere. We refer to them when we have tough decisions to make, we give shoutouts based on living out these values, and we include them as part of our performance reviews.

We have 5 core values and 1 foundational pillar (Safety is our Foundation) which lays the groundwork for everything we do.

Safety is our Foundation

We prioritize the safety of our products, customers, employees, and the general public above all else. From the workshop to the field, we maintain the highest standards for our batteries in testing manufacturing and deployment, and daily operations. Safety is not only about procedures—it is about vigilance, responsibility, and speaking up when something does not feel right.

Safety is everyone's responsibility. We follow safety protocols, use proper equipment, and continuously improve our systems to prevent risks before they occur. If something is unsafe, we stop work and address it.

Safety also means protecting our colleagues, customers, and communities by designing reliable products, maintaining safe workspaces, and ensuring our work is done carefully and responsibly.

We’re Building a Greener Future Together:

We infuse passion for our cleantech mission into every aspect of our work and incorporate fun into the workplace. We motivate one another, celebrate our successes and embrace eco-friendly practices to reduce our carbon footprint.

We place our customers at the core of everything we do, ensuring that every decision considers their needs and aims to provide increased value to them. We provide reliable support for our customers, every step of the way.

We’re Open, Honest and Accountable:

We prioritize open and honest communication to foster mutual understanding, strengthen knowledge sharing, and reduce miscommunication within the team. We admit when we’ve made a mistake, and remedy our actions. We transparently communicate outcomes whether good, bad, or unexpected.

We Think and Act like Owners:

We’re self-starters that proactively embrace new challenges along with personal and collective ownership of responsibilities in the organization. We focus on growth, not titles, and we do what needs to be done.

We Treat Everyone with Respect:

We actively listen, share openly, and work together towards common goals. We treat one another with mutual respect to cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone feels accepted, supported, and heard. We keep an open mind and are willing to learn.
