Head of Engineering at Cebon Industrial

About the role

As Head of Engineering – Battery & Energy Solutions, you will be responsible for leading and developing Cebon Industrial’s Engineering function. While the team currently consists of one engineer, you will play a key role in building and expanding the function as the business continues to grow. As the company’s technical expert within battery and energy solutions, you will help shape its technical direction and support its continued growth. The role combines strategic responsibility with hands-on, operational leadership. You will work closely with Sales, Product Management, suppliers and customers across the European Group.

• Supporting the Sales and Product organisations in customer discussions, tenders, product development and supplier selection.
• Driving technical evaluations and make-or-buy decisions.
• Ensuring quality, regulatory compliance and risk management while developing the Engineering function’s processes and tools.

We believe you will succeed if you:

• Has a strong technical background within batteries, battery technologies, power electronics or related industrial energy applications.
• Has experience leading other engineers, either formally or informally, and driving technical projects. You may already have some leadership experience and are eager to grow into a broader leadership role.
