Job description

Use your knowledge and experience as a Team Leader within Elestor's team in Arnhem. Read the vacancy and apply!

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 HBr 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!
