A global leader in second life battery energy storage systems is expanding its team as it brings more quality jobs to Norfolk and Newcastle in response to new project wins.
Connected Energy is one of the world’s leading providers of energy storage systems using second life batteries from former electric vehicles (EVs). Repurposing these batteries in stationary systems gives them longer working lives, delivering significant environmental and circular economy benefits. Its E-STOR systems are increasingly used across the UK and Europe for applications such as supporting EV charging hubs, cutting energy bills, balancing the grid, and maximising the return on investment from solar arrays.
The company has ramped up recruitment after being named part of a cutting-edge consortium to explore battery reuse with a major automotive manufacturer, and a contract to supply its systems to one of the world’s leading truck and bus manufacturers. Connected Energy is scaling up as a result, with seven new starters joining its engineering team in Hethel and a further three at its office in Newcastle upon Tyne.
