The role

Company Overview

Ore Energy is on a mission to fundamentally expand the amount of energy society can reliably harness and use, helping move civilization toward a more abundant energy future. We are doing this by developing long-duration, utility-scale iron-air batteries that provide safe, low-cost, multi-day energy storage for electricity grids and data centers. Our technology is designed to enable renewable power to become a dependable source of energy at scale, supporting the transition to a cleaner, more resilient and more electrified world.

Ore Energy has built significant momentum toward commercial deployment. The company has raised a significant amount of investment from leading European investors, demonstrated its technology under real-world utility conditions, and is now moving toward large-scale commercial deployments..

Role Overview

We are expanding our industrialization capabilities and are looking for an Industrial Engineer to join our Factory Engineering team in Amsterdam. You will shape how our manufacturing operations are structured and perform as we design, build and ramp our first commercial production facility.

Working closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing and Operations you will define operational concepts, workload and staffing models, production flows, line balance parameters and performance studies. This is a hands-on role in an early factory design and ramp-up environment, focused on making the production system practical, efficient and ready to operate as intended from day one.

This role reports to Axel Save, Head of Factory Engineering.

Key responsibilities

Define operational concepts for manufacturing areas, including 3P (Product, Parts, People) flows, staffing models and shift structures.
Develop and optimize line balance, workload distribution and capacity models aligned with production targets.
Establish and maintain performance frameworks such as OEE to support operational decision-making and improvements.
Support factory and line layout development with a focus on operability, ergonomics and maintainability.
Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies and operational risks, initiating data-driven improvements to stabilize throughput and performance.
Work closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality and Supply Chain to ensure the production operates as an integrated whole.

Your profile

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Production Engineering or a related engineering field.
4+ years of experience in industrial engineering, manufacturing engineering, or operations development roles in production environments.
Strong experience with line balancing, workload modelling, capacity planning, OEE and production performance analysis.
Familiarity with standardization, lean principles and continuous improvement methods.
Ability to translate data and analysis into practical operating models and shopfloor improvements.
Structured, collaborative and pragmatic problem solver, comfortable working hands-on in both design and on the shopfloor.

What to expect from our recruitment process?

1. 15min initial screening call with People & Talent Lead focussing on your motivation and interest in working for Ore Energy as well as fit for the role & wider team.

2. 45-60min technical interview with Hiring Manager for the role (or another member from the team)

About us

The Challenge We Are Solving

Do you want to contribute to one of the most important challenges of our time: accelerating the energy transition? Are you excited by breakthrough energy storage technology with real-world impact? Would you like to be part of a mission-driven company where your work directly contributes to building the future of clean energy?

Then we are looking for you.

Ore Energy develops long-duration energy storage solutions to support a reliable, zero-carbon electricity system.

Powering the Next Generation of Infrastructure

The electricity grid is undergoing its most significant transformation in a century. As renewables become the cheapest source of new power, the challenge is no longer producing clean energy, it is making it reliably available when and where it is needed, regardless of when the sun shines or the wind blows. Our iron-air batteries are uniquely designed to store renewable energy over multi-day periods, allowing clean electricity to become a dependable, around-the-clock backbone of the grid while reducing reliance on fossil-fuel peaker plants and building a more resilient, fully decarbonized power system.

This is a rare opportunity to join a company at the moment when technology readiness, customer traction, and market demand are converging. Ore Energy has already raised significant capital, built and tested its technology under real-world conditions, and is now moving toward large-scale commercial deployment. As we transition into this industrial implementation phase, we are building the team, systems, and capabilities required to scale our solution and help define how long-duration storage powers both the future grid and the next generation of industry and data infrastructure.

Our Culture & Beliefs

We believe impactful technology is built by talented people who are motivated by complex challenges, scientific rigour and strong execution. That is why we are looking for dedicated professionals who want to help shape a cleaner and more resilient energy future.

At Ore Energy, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace where every individual has the opportunity to thrive. We believe that diversity of thought, background, and experience drives innovation and success. Are you unsure if you meet all the requirements? Please do apply, we’d love to hear from you! Your unique perspective and skills could be exactly what we’re looking for.
