Who we are

You’ll be joining a diverse and ambitious team, spread across Germany, Canada, and Spain, all working together to shape the future of sustainable energy. At PowerCo we celebrate collaboration, progress and that spark that turns bold ideas into real impact. From our new gigafactory in Sagunto (Valencia), we’re driving a project that’s transforming both the region and the future of clean mobility in Europe — and you can be part of it. 

  
 
Your role and key responsibilities

This position will be part of our Operations Department, the heart of PowerCo — where innovation becomes reality. This area brings together multiple teams working on the construction of our gigafactory and the different stages of battery cell production. From engineering and design to process optimization and production excellence, Operations is where the future of energy takes shape. 

In your day-to-day, you will:

  • Drive strategic projects on behalf of the CEO, ensuring alignment with company priorities and effective cross-functional execution.
  • Develop, track, and optimize operational cost plans in collaboration with the CEO, CFO, and senior stakeholders.
  • Identify and assess business development opportunities through market, competitor, financial, and operational analyses.
  • Lead operational optimization initiatives focused on energy costs, shift systems, organizational efficiency, and overhead reduction.
  • Manage high-priority special projects, including PV park operations, preparing decision-support materials for senior management.
  
 
What you bring to the team
  • Master’s degree in Science, Business Management, or a related field.
  • Minimum 6 years of experience in operational cost planning, business development, operational optimization, strategy, or special project management.
  • Proven knowledge of cost structure analysis, financial and operational planning, business case development, and strategic decision-support.
  • Strong analytical, project management, and cross-functional coordination abilities, with the capacity to prepare reports and recommendations for senior management.
  • Willingness to work in Sagunto. Please note that while some positions are currently based in Valencia, our operations will progressively move to Sagunto, so we require availability to work there from the start. 
  • Please submit your CV in English.
  • Willingness to work rotating shifts.
  
 
What makes you stand out
  • Experience in PV park operations, energy cost optimization, or company-wide cost management initiatives.
  • Knowledge of business case development, market and competitor analysis, financial modelling, and operational efficiency methods.
  • Experience preparing decision-support materials, reports, and recommendations for senior management.
  • Possession of a disability certificate of 33% or more is valued. At PowerCo, we are deeply committed to diversity and inclusion — embracing neurodiversity, functional diversity, and all forms of individual difference. We believe diverse perspectives make us stronger and ensure everyone feels welcome, valued, and heard.
 
What to look forward to
  • Flexible working hours.
  • Competitive salary aligned with the Spanish Chemical Industry Collective Agreement, plus short-term incentives (STI).
  • 25 vacation days a year + extra PowerCo Days to truly disconnect.
  • Full health insurance coverage for you.
  • Gympass membership to keep your body and mind in top shape.
  • Monthly meal allowance through Cobee.
  • Permanent contract — we’re building something to last.
