Job description

About Us:

Fuse Energy is an energy startup on a mission to make energy abundant and affordable, fast. We combine first-principles thinking with cutting-edge technology to build a radically better energy system.

We've raised over $200M from top-tier investors including Balderton, Lakestar, Accel, Creandum, Lowercarbon, Ribbit, 20VC, Hummingbird and Collaborative Fund, alongside strategic angels including Nico Rosberg and GPs behind Meta, Revolut, Spotify and Uber.

We're building a fully integrated energy company: developing our own solar, batteries and other generation projects, building our own hardware, improving and developing grid infrastructure, trading power in real time, using AI across the business, and installing distributed energy in homes. By selling directly to consumers we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.

The Responsable de Construcción leads all construction activities across our infrastructure projects in Spain: utility-scale Solar PV, BESS, Wind, Gas-Peakers and Data Centres, plus the upgrade of our distribution networks. You run the construction department and own construction budget, timing and delivery across every site. You work closely with Project Managers, Site Managers (jefes de obra) and cross-functional teams to deliver safely, to quality and on schedule, while continuously looking for cost savings and process improvements.
