Job Description

Industrial heat accounts for nearly a quarter of global energy demand, and most of it still relies on fossil fuels. At ENERGYNEST, we're changing that. We help industrial companies replace gas with clean, cost-competitive heat through integrated power-to-heat and thermal storage solutions. By combining engineering, energy expertise, and innovative business models, we're making industrial decarbonization commercially viable today. Founded in 2011, ENERGYNEST is an international team of engineers, project developers, commercial experts, and problem-solvers united by one ambition: accelerating the transition to a fossil-free industry. If you enjoy tackling complex challenges, taking ownership, and building something that matters, you'll fit right in.

Why you should join our team

• Work on a relevant challenge: decarbonizing industrial heat with a proven technology in operation
• Join an international, growing company with a strong technical and commercial foundation
• Flexible working model, including home office
• Flat hierarchies and close collaboration across teams and locations
• Modern office in central Hamburg (Gänsemarkt)
• Mobility & employee perks: fully covered Deutschlandticket, access to Corporate Benefits, and JobRad leasing options
• Claude Max subscription with all the tokens you need

What you will do

We are looking for a versatile candidate to coordinate and support public funding applications for industrial decarbonization projects. The role focuses on managing grant applications and stakeholder coordination, while also providing support for technical feasibility studies and proposal development. You should be highly fluent with AI tools and use them to 3x your productivity while producing genuinely high-quality work, not AI slop. This position offers the opportunity to develop towards either a commercial/business development path or a more technical proposal engineering role over time.

Background & Experience

• Engineering degree (e.g. Industrial Engineering, Energy Engineering, Process Engineering) or similar technical/business background
• 1-3 years of professional experience
• Experience in funding applications, project coordination, technical consulting, proposal support, or research projects is an advantage
• Knowledge of industrial energy systems, electrification, or decarbonization is a plus
• Business-fluent German and English are non-negotiable requirements, as the role involves coordinating funding applications and stakeholders across German and international environments

Key Responsibilities

Funding Coordination (primary focus)

• Use AI tools to research, synthesize, and structure complex technical and funding-related information
• Coordinate public funding applications from preparation to submission
• Manage timelines, documentation, and stakeholder communication across internal teams, customers, and funding authorities. Review funding guidelines and translate requirements into internal action plans
• Support reporting and follow-up activities for approved projects

Technical & Proposal Support

• Contribute to feasibility studies and proposal development for Power-to-Heat and industrial electrification projects
• Support technical and techno-economic analyses using customer and plant data
• Prepare and review technical inputs during conceptual project phases, primarily related to process, mechanical and I&C disciplines
• Calculate energy and mass flows, and size main equipment such as heat exchangers, pumps and vessels, using engineering best practices
• Assist with business case development and investment justification

Skills & Competencies

• Fast learner with a high degree of autonomy
• An "AI first" approach to solving problems and automating tasks
• Strong organizational and project coordination skills
• Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and deadlines
• Structured, proactive, and solution-oriented working style
• Comfortable working across commercial and technical topics
• Familiarity with public funding schemes and analytical tools such as Excel or Python is a plus
