Do you want to power the energy transition? Are you a team player; ready to take on varied and complex challenges?

We are proud to be a fast-growing and innovative company in The Netherlands, developing breakthrough hydrogen-iron flow battery technology. Elestor offers exciting and competitive career opportunities with plenty of scope for both personal and professional development.

As Electrical Engineer, you actively contribute to various projects varying from test set-ups in our lab to full scale client applications in which you will encounter challenges in a hands-on working and learning position. Your ultimate responsibility is developing, maintaining and troubleshooting all electrical systems we need by generating schematics, perform calculations, select equipment and make sure that all is (grid) code compliant.

This is an opportunity for curious individuals with the desire to be in the middle of innovation and have an innate drive to contribute to the energy transition. The growth of the Elestor organization enables several development trajectories in which you can learn and accumulate ownership.

Elestor is looking for a senior all-round Electrical Engineer willing to learn, design and troubleshoot (a combination of thinking and doing). You are proactive and pragmatic in your behavior (and communication) and not afraid to challenge the status quo. Taking ownership of various assignments at once (while running multiple projects simultaneously) fits your ability to plan and execute accordingly. In addition, striving for ownership and slowly taking over responsibilities provides you with a lot of motivation (and energy)!

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 in a sustainable and cost-effective way are lacking; Long-Duration Energy Storage (LDES) is ‘’the missing link’’ in the energy transition. 

It is Elestor’s mission to cut the costs of electricity storage. We develop large-scale, competitive H₂-FE storage technologies that are carbon neutral and durable, and hereby unifying the interests of the planet, people, and business profitability. 

• Winner of several awards

• Agreements with clients strategically adopting the innovative storage technology in commercial settings

Elestor has more than once been recognised as one of the 10 most innovative companies in the Netherlands by both the University of Amsterdam and the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. The revolutionary low-cost flow battery systems have received multiple awards in recognition of the ability to reduce the cost of storing electricity to an absolute minimum. For more understanding, feel free to visit Elestor's website. Here you'll find more about the underlying fundamentals and the triple cost reduction strategy, making Elestor’s solution unique on the world stage.

Backed by a €30 million investment, Elestor is accelerating the pre-commercial phase, as part of the growth strategy to commercialisation and operationalization of its proven hydrogen-iron-flow battery technology. The segment is expected to represent a market potential of approximately €20 billion by 2030. The international market pull is already concrete and fast growing.

At Elestor you will be in the middle of genuinely unprecedented developments, made possible by an international group of 35 dedicated professionals including many researchers and engineers of remarkable talent and diversity. In future years, the company will expand literally in every direction. In anticipation of this steep growth, Elestor will look forward to meeting sincere, thoughtful, and entrepreneurial individuals feeling energized to empower necessary change: towards a 100% clean electricity supply.
