Job Details

Join Renewell to drive innovation at the cutting edge of the energy storage and well remediation sectors.
Our breakthrough technology tackles the climate crisis by converting inactive oil and gas wells into gravity-based energy storage systems—providing reliable renewable power while cleaning up millions of idle wells across the U.S.

This is a rare opportunity to be one of the early hires at a mission-driven startup that is entering a promising growth phase with ~$15M raised to-date (VCs, US DOE (ARPA-E), CEC, etc.), regulations recently changed in 3 states, and deployment poised to 5-11x in the next 2 years. If you're excited by hands-on engineering, creative problem-solving, and scaling a revolutionary technology in a high-paced environment, let's talk.

Role: As the Project Engineer, you'll translate site-specific conditions into design modifications, coordinate contractors, and ensure successful deployments from evaluation through operations. This is a highly dynamic, field-oriented role at the intersection of engineering, construction, and project execution. As part of a high-growth startup, you will be challenged to rapidly expand your skillset, with ample opportunity to grow into a leadership role.

Responsibilities:

• Thorough characterization of existing infrastructure at potential installation sites to refine designs, installation procedures, and inform site selection
• Technoeconomic modeling to optimize site selection and design selection
• Streamlining the site evaluation process to prepare for future rapid deployments
• Operations and maintenance of installed devices as needed
• Managing contractors/consultants as needed
• Travel to vendors, customers, and installation sites (15-30%)
