PMO Manager

Energy Dome is the owner and developer of CO2 Battery technology, a ground-breaking innovation which uses carbon dioxide in a closed loop thermodynamic process to provide efficient, affordable long duration energy storage (LDES) for intermittent renewables - the key to enabling decarbonization of the global power system.

The CO2 Battery is a standardized, modular product which uses off-the-shelf industrial components with well-established, global supply chains, enabling Energy Dome to rapidly scale-up and accelerate widespread adoption of the technology in key global markets.

Energy Dome offers the CO2 Battery to the market both as a technology supplier (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and under an “energy storage-as-a-service” or Build-Own-Operate (BOO) business model.

The BOO arm is experiencing significant growth with projects moving into operation phase, as well as a significant backlog of projects in development and under contracting. This key service line will cater to customers that prefer not to own and operate CO2 Batteries themselves, but prefer to enter into long term capacity offtake agreements with Energy Dome.

For the BOO division, we are now looking for a:
