Job Description

Join Renewell and drive innovation at the cutting edge of the energy storage and well remediation sectors.

Our breakthrough technology tackles the climate crisis by converting inactive oil and gas wells into gravity-based energy storage systems—providing reliable renewable power while cleaning up millions of idle wells across the U.S.

This is a rare opportunity to be one of the early hires at a mission-driven startup that is entering a promising growth phase with ~$15M raised to-date (VCs, US DOE (ARPA-E), CEC, etc.), regulations recently changed in 3 states, and deployment poised to 5-11x in the next 2 years. If you’re excited by hands-on, creative problem-solving, and scaling a revolutionary technology in a high-paced environment, let’s talk.

Role : As an Engineering Technician, you will take ownership over the installation, operations and execution of field testing our gravity energy storage technology, while also supporting its continued development. This role is largely hands-on with consistent travel to installation / testing sites (Elk Hills (Tupman) and Bakersfield, CA; as well as likely installations near Denver, Colorado) will be required. As part of a high-growth startup, you will be challenged to rapidly expand your skillset, with ample opportunity to grow into roles of increasing responsibility.

Responsibilities :

• Conducting tests, troubleshooting, creating summary reports, and recommendations to Engineering
• Inspecting, analyzing, and performing root cause analysis on systems and equipment
• Sourcing replacement parts
• Hands-on firmware development (with assistance from our Lead Electrical Engineer)
• Repair or replacement of faulty equipment
• Manage contractors / consultants for repair support as needed
