Manufacturing Engineer Bathgate, Scotland
Job description
Company Description
In the world of energy, no area is more exciting than large-scale energy storage. From a few installations a decade ago to a market Barclays Bank says is “likely to approach the trillions,” energy storage makes wind and solar available around the clock. Invinity is taking a leading role by providing a safe, reliable, and economical alternative to conventional storage solutions.
Invinity Energy Systems, a public company trading on the London Stock Exchange, produces batteries that do not suffer the short life, fire risk and materials scarcity that hold back solutions powered by lithium-ion batteries. Invinity’s flow batteries store energy in a water-based electrolyte using vanadium, a widely available element proven in energy storage for decades. Invinity has commercial projects in Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, with significant operations in Vancouver and Bathgate and offices in London and San Francisco.
We are looking for people with a passion for renewable energy to join us. People love working at Invinity because we are empowered to make a meaningful impact. We’re small enough that every team member plays a critical role in our daily business, but large enough that the batteries we build are being deployed at significant scale in landmark clean energy projects around the world.
Invinity is committed to providing equal opportunities in the workplace and follows a comprehensive Equal Opportunities Policy to ensure all employees are valued and can reach their full potential.
