Join Our Team: Seeking an Automation Engineer
The energy transition is accelerating, and battery energy storage systems are at the heart of making it work. At Capture Energy, we’re building the infrastructure to support a smarter, more flexible, and secure electricity system --- and we’re looking for an experienced Automation Engineer to join us on that mission.
Founded in 2023, Capture Energy is a fast-growing company with 31 team members across the Nordics. Our ambition is to lead the Nordic and European market in battery energy storage --- an area experiencing rapid growth as grids decarbonize and electrification surges.
As a small but agile team, we do things differently. That means fewer silos, faster decisions, and more room for meaningful impact. We bring good energy to everything we do --- from the systems we deliver to the people we work with.
<h4 class="navds-heading navds-heading--xsmall navds-typo--spacing">About The Role</h4>
We’re looking for an Automation Engineer to join our growing team at Capture Energy. In this hands-on role, you’ll support the delivery of our battery energy storage systems from design through to operation -- including testing, commissioning, and ongoing service. You’ll be the bridge between engineering and operations, sometimes representing the team on-site when needed.
This role is well-suited for someone who wants to learn and grow in the sustainable energy transition space. You’ll work closely with experienced engineers and gain exposure to real-world energy systems, with the opportunity to take on more responsibility over time.
