Junior Project Manager

About

Off-Grid Europe is a small, fast moving company owned and managed by Christiane Kragh (CEO) and Mark Kragh (CTO). We are a specialist in renewable energy systems, most notably custom containerized solutions for off-grid applications. During the past 5 years, we have built our own platform to interact with the devices in these systems in order to record and display data, configure settings and actively manage the “balance-of-system” during operation to optimize battery lifetime. We also have an office and solar installation base in Dakar Senegal, from where we serve our Senegalese and West African market, do R&D and other activities. So far, our systems have given about 150,000 people access to electricity for the first time.

We have a nice work environment at our Head Office in the countryside, close to the mountains where you can ski in the winter, swim in the lake in the summer, go sailing, cycling, running, walking, kite/wind-surfing, mountain climbing, and so much more. You could say, it's a bit off-grid but at the same time located in the middle of one of the biggest technical areas of innovation, where international companies set up offices exactly because of the location.

We love where we work and we have a great coffee machine!
