Renewable energy jobs at ALFEN

Alfen has completed several major projects in energy storage and grid infrastructure. In April 2025, the company secured its largest energy storage deal to date with Return Energy: a 100MW/200MWh system in the Netherlands, connected to the Dutch transmission grid operated by TenneT, with planned delivery by the end of 2026 (source: contentstack.com, roic.ai). Another key battery project is FlevoBESS, a 31.6MW/126.4MWh system in the Netherlands, one of the country’s first large-scale four-hour systems (source: ipo.alfen.com, contentstack.com). In Finland, Alfen delivered a 20MW/40MWh energy storage system for Oulun Energia, including support for grid code testing and additional services (source: alfen.com). The company also supplied a 20MW/40MWh BESS for E-Connection near Neeltje Jans in the Netherlands, aimed at grid stabilization and wind energy integration, with commissioning planned for Q1 2026 (source: alfen.com). In grid infrastructure, Alfen delivered seven compact transformer stations for a pilot project with WATT Infra and carried out medium voltage installations for the Eekerpolder solar park by Belectric, a project of approximately 200MWp in the Netherlands (source: alfen.com). The company also provided custom medium voltage walk-in transformer stations for the Belgian public transport company TEC in Wallonia, supporting the electrification of their fleet (source: ipo.alfen.com). While Alfen is primarily strong in the Netherlands, these projects also demonstrate an active commercial presence in Belgium, Finland, and Sweden (source: ipo.alfen.com, alfen.com).

In 2025, Alfen reported a revenue decline to 435.6 million, down from 487.6 million in 2024, and implemented a significant workforce reduction to 923 FTEs as part of a restructuring and a more selective growth strategy focused on profitable segments (source: alfen.com). For 2026, the company anticipates revenue between 435 million and 475 million with an adjusted EBITDA margin of 4% to 7% (source: alfen.com). In the first half of 2025, revenue was 211.5 million, with weaker performance in EV Charging and Energy Storage being the main causes of the decline (source: alfen.com). In Q1 2025, revenue guidance was adjusted to 430 million to 480 million, with CAPEX below 4% of revenue (source: contentstack.com, roic.ai). In Q3 2025, revenue of 104.1 million was confirmed, along with further operational efficiency measures (source: alfen.com).

Alfen recruits staff across three main areas: hardware and engineering for networks, product and project work for EV charging solutions, and battery storage systems with project execution (source: alfen.com). Roles include electrical engineering, project management, manufacturing, supply chain, field service, sales, and financial functions such as investor relations (source: alfen.com). The headquarters is located in Almere, with commercial and operational activities in Belgium, Finland, and Sweden, based on recent projects (source: alfen.com, ipo.alfen.com). The company is currently undergoing an active restructuring phase, focusing on cost savings, workforce reduction, and improving backlog quality (source: alfen.com). For job seekers, this means Alfen is an industrial technology employer focused on designing, producing, integrating, and delivering electrification equipment and storage solutions for utilities and infrastructure customers (source: alfen.com).
