How You’ll Shape Our Story:
Batteries are becoming a cornerstone of how we deploy and operate EV charging at scale. They unlock locations where the grid is constrained, and they unlock new revenue streams from energy markets and flexibility where the grid is open. The Battery Engineer Expert is Powerdot's internal and external technical reference for everything battery-related. You will own the full lifecycle - from design to operations - and partner with Serge and the Energy team to turn batteries into a real performance lever for the company. This role sits inside the Energy team and reports directly to Serge Letendre, our VP of Energy.
Battery system design & engineering
Define the technical specifications for BESS at our charging stations: sizing, topology, safety, monitoring, integration with chargers and the grid
Challenge supplier proposals and design choices to optimize performance, reliability, and total cost of ownership
Build and maintain the reference design that our country teams can replicate across markets
Deployment & commissioning
Own the technical side of every battery rollout: from site assessment to installation, commissioning, and handover to operations
Adapt the rollout playbook to local constraints - grid codes, regulation, partners, installers - across our 5 countries
Be the technical interface with DSOs, EPC partners, and local installers
Operations & performance
Monitor live battery assets, define the KPIs that matter (availability, round-trip efficiency, degradation, safety) and drive continuous improvement
Own the O&M playbook for BESS: preventive maintenance, troubleshooting protocols, spare parts strategy
Work with Country Ops to make sure battery sites perform at the level we promise to partners and the grid
Energy markets & revenue
Identify and unlock economic opportunities tied to batteries: arbitrage, ancillary services, capacity markets, flexibility schemes
Partner with the Energy team to build the business case for each market and translate it into real revenue
Cross-functional & strategic
Be the go-to expert for everyone at Powerdot when batteries are on the table
Help shape Powerdot's medium-term battery strategy: which markets, which use cases, which technology bets, which suppliers
Represent Powerdot externally with DSOs, regulators, industry working groups, and tier-1 BESS suppliers
This Is About You, Not Us 🫵🏼:
5–8 years of hands-on experience with battery energy storage systems - you have personally designed, commissioned, or operated BESS in the field, not just modelled them in a slide
Strong electrical engineering background (MV/LV, p
