About the role

Critical Energy seeks a Head of Manufacturing to own the end-to-end build-out of production capabilities for modular power systems. You will design lines, manage costs, and build the manufacturing org on the floor, leading by example in a startup environment. You will collaborate with engineering to improve manufacturability, drive cost reductions, and ensure on-schedule delivery while maintaining safety and quality.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
