Senior Project Engineer (m/w/d)

Rondo Energy is decarbonizing industrial heat.

Rondo deploys low-cost, zero-carbon Rondo Heat Batteries to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and to significantly decarbonize industrial processes that are commonly thought of as "difficult-to-decarbonize". Our Heat Batteries charge from intermittent renewables to provide high-temperature, continuous heat for customers safely, reliably, at an unprecedented 98% efficiency - and at a cost point that is lower than any other method.

As the Senior Project Engineer of the Project Delivery Team, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless coordination, communication, and execution of Rondo’s large-scale thermal energy storage projects. You will work closely with Rondo Project Managers, with a focus on technology development, operations, supply chain and deployment of the product. This role is crucial for stitching together the deliverables, capacities, timelines, dependencies, risks, mitigation strategies, and stakeholders of the technology development and operations teams. You will be a linchpin in deploying Rondo’s technology – and in accelerating industrial decarbonization.
