WHAT WE OFFER

We offer the right candidate an important role in developing Norway's first battery cell production facilities.

Energy storage is an important key to the world's switch to a sustainable, green economy. Freyr is a frontrunner in Europe's rush to build capacity in battery production. A shift from fossil fuel to electricity-from-renewables could deliver 75 - 90% of the CO2 emission reductions required.

Freyr has to move fast. The world needs both battery cells now, and ever better battery cells in the future. With us you will learn a lot and a lot will be expected of you. We aim to pick high performers that will slot in immediately.

LOCATION

Mo i Rana.

We have to be flexible in terms of where people live but most of the work will be done in Mo. Our objective is to have the Project Director live there during project execution.
