Role Overview
We are looking for a versatile candidate to coordinate and support public funding applications for industrial decarbonization projects. The role focuses on managing grant applications and stakeholder coordination, while also providing support for technical feasibility studies and proposal development.
You should be highly fluent with AI tools and use them to 3x your productivity while producing genuinely high-quality work, not AI slop.
This position offers the opportunity to develop towards either a commercial/business development path or a more technical proposal engineering role over time.

-
Experience in funding applications, project coordination, technical consulting, proposal support, or research projects is an advantage
-
Knowledge of industrial energy systems, electrification, or decarbonization is a plus
