Senior/Lead Recruiter

Job Description

We’re creating a fully integrated energy company: from developing solar, wind and hydrogen projects to real-time power trading and distributed energy installations.

By selling directly to consumers, we cut out the middleman, lower costs and pass on savings to customers.

But we’re not stopping there.
