Manufacturing Engineering Manager

Modvion builds the next generation of sustainable wind turbine towers with laminated wood - nature’s carbon fibre. Using wood enables for radical reductions in carbon emissions, making it possible to generate net zero energy from wind power. In fact, considering that wood is also storing carbon the tower itself is carbon negative - storing more carbon than it produces during production. In order to reach stronger and more stable winds and produce more energy, wind turbines are getting bigger in every sense. Thanks to our patented module system, we have developed a cost-effective solution enabling transportation for installations of tall towers.

At Modvion you get to work with driven, positive and creative people who inspire each other. What we’re doing can make a real difference for the climate and accelerate the transition to renewable energy. Take the chance to join one of the most interesting companies in cleantech at a pivotal time!
