About the company:
Ore Energy is developing the next generation of long-duration energy storage to enable a fully renewable power system. Our iron-air battery technology stores electricity for up to 100 hours, making it possible to keep grids running through multi-day periods of low wind and sun.
Unlike conventional batteries, our systems use abundant, non-toxic materials: iron, air, and water. This makes them safe, cost-effective, and scalable without relying on scarce minerals or fragile supply chains. When charging, the battery converts rust into metallic iron. When discharging, it reverses the reaction, consuming oxygen and producing rust again. This simple, proven chemistry has the potential to deliver energy at a fraction of the cost of other storage technologies.
Founded at TU Delft in the Netherlands, Ore Energy is focused on real-world deployment. In 2025, we connected the world's first iron-air battery to the grid in Delft. This milestone demonstrated that multi-day storage can be integrated directly into modern energy systems.
As countries expand renewable generation, the challenge of balancing supply and demand is becoming urgent. We believe long-duration storage is a critical part of the solution and that it must be safe, sustainable, and affordable at scale.
Ore Energy’s mission is clear: to store renewable energy anywhere, for as long as needed, using materials that are available to everyone. By combining deep electrochemistry expertise with practical engineering, we are turning one of Earth’s most abundant resources into a cornerstone of the clean energy transition.

Key responsibilities
- Lead the end-to-end facility design process – from requirements gathering, conceptual layouts, and capacity modeling to scalable factory blueprints.
- Translate product and process needs into robust and flexible industrial facility designs.
- Define the long-term factory strategy and master plan, ensuring scalability, efficiency, and adaptability for future technologies.
- Collaborate closely with R&D, manufacturing, supply chain, and safety teams to align design with operational, quality, and sustainability goals.
- Evaluate and select external partners, engineering firms, and design consultants to support factory concept development.
- Establish design standards, guidelines, and best practices for process flow optimization, energy efficiency, and sustainability.
- Develop project documentation (requirements, design packages, strategic roadmaps) to support decision-making at the executive level.
- Build and mentor a high-performing facility design team over time.
- Act as the strategic owner for all factory design topics and serve as the key liaison between engineering, operations, and leadership.
Your profile
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field; additional training in factory or facilities design is a plus.
- 3+ years of experience in industrial facility design, factory layout, and capacity planning, preferably in high-tech or large-scale manufacturing environments.
- Proven ability to translate product and process requirements into efficient, scalable, and future-ready factory designs.
- Strong knowledge of process flow optimization, lean manufacturing principles, and industrial engineering best practices.
- Hands-on expertise with layout design, 3D modeling, and digital factory tools (e.g., AutoCAD, Plant Simulation, or equivalent).
- Demonstrated success in developing long-term factory strategies, master plans, and infrastructure roadmaps aligned with business growth.
- Experience collaborating with R&D, operations, supply chain, and EHS teams to ensure alignment between design, performance, and safety objectives.
- Leadership mindset with the ability to build, mentor, and guide multidisciplinary teams toward innovative and sustainable factory solutions.
