ENERGY STORAGE ENGINEERING, R&D, MANUFACTURING & BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ROLES — ANTORA (CA, SD, PA, USA & SPAIN, EU)

Antora Energy is a company focused on innovative energy storage solutions, and they are seeking various roles to enhance their team. Positions include a range of responsibilities from business development to engineering and operations, all aimed at advancing thermal energy storage technology.

Responsibilities:

• Originate and develop high quality project opportunities in the international industrial heat market and develop them towards final investment decisions (FID)
• Lead a cross-functional team to bring credible, large-scale industrial decarbonization projects to life
• Leverage your expertise to help evolve Antora’s deal-team playbook for high-performance, efficiency and productivity
• Partner directly with engineers to execute high-temperature experiments using bench-top furnaces and supporting lab equipment
• Set up and run tests, operate instrumentation and data acquisition systems, and produce clear, thorough documentation of every experiment
• Support the outside operations of our thermal energy storage and boiler systems while helping maintain plant systems during installation, commissioning, and operations
• Work closely with internal engineering, operations, and maintenance teams to safely construct, commission, and operate first-of-a-kind industrial installations of the Antora thermal battery
• Own the design, analysis, and validation of critical subsystems that make Antora’s thermal battery possible
• Work across disciplines to scope, design, and refine mechanical systems from concept through prototyping, testing, and production
• Help build the processes, standards, and culture that enable our team to deliver at scale
• Own the integration of the control systems and software that power our Thermal Energy Storage (TES) modules, industrial boilers, and complex balance-of-plant (BoP) systems
• Architect the brain of a first-of-a-kind energy technology
• Build the operational foundation from the ground up: writing SOPs, defining the end-to-end material flow, establishing quality criteria & tracking, and implementing preventative maintenance schedules
• Coordinate across the supplier’s operators, maintenance crews, engineering, quality, EH&S, and logistics teams to ensure Antora’s material moves safely, on spec, and on time
• Lead the development and execution of high-value test programs that de-risk the next generation of our thermal energy storage and combined heat and power systems
• Lead a small team to execute sub-scale and full-scale investigations across Antora’s TES modules and balance of plant
