Job description

Do you want to be part of a hyper-growth company reducing society’s reliance on fossil fuels by developing products that use a revolutionary new kind of clean fuel?

If yes, you may be the perfect candidate to join us at AlumaPower, a cleantech company with facilities in Sarnia and Kitchener, Ontario, Canada.

Our breakthrough multi-patented technology re-invents the aluminum-air battery as a ‘galvanic generator.

We are now developing an innovative long-life energy source that runs on post-consumer scrap, or “abandoned” aluminum, as a fuel source - displacing hydrocarbons and complementing other battery solutions such as lithium-ion.

This job is based in Sarnia. You will report to our Product Development Manager and will play a crucial role in supporting our team in designing, testing, and troubleshooting systems.

Confidentiality is a crucial part of this role, and it is essential to note that you will be interacting with a diverse group of people. You must uphold the company's values at all times.

Above all, you will seek to thrive and succeed in an entrepreneurial environment and have a hunger to grow personally within the company.
