VP de Manufactura (m/f/x)

At Reverion, we're on a mission to enable a decentralized, flexible, and carbon-negative energy system. And that's what drives us every day.

We are developing innovative, reversible power plants that can efficiently convert gases such as biogas or hydrogen into electricity and heat. When needed, the process can be reversed to transform renewable energy into storable green gases. With an efficiency of up to 80%, Reverion power plants are among the most efficient in the world.

Reverion as an Inclusive Company

Don't meet all the requirements? Apply anyway!Studies show that men tend to apply when they meet around 60% of the criteria, while women and non-binary people often feel they need to meet significantly more requirements, even though they are equally well qualified. We are interested in the value you can bring, not in a perfect checklist. No one has everything, and that's completely okay.

And if you need any accommodations (e.g. additional time, assistive devices, or similar), just let us know - we'll make it possible!
