JOIN THE TEAM

The implications of climate change for our future and the necessary actions are obvious. Among the crucial measures, the transition to large-scale clean energy stands out. The global demand for power from renewable sources like wind and solar is on the rise. Stationary energy storage emerges as a key technology, ensuring a reliable power supply despite the intermittent nature of these sources by storing excess energy and discharging it during peak demand.

This job gives you the opportunity to direct your career towards actively contributing to sustainable solutions and establishing large-scale production capacities for NAS batteries - a cutting-edge technology ideal for long-duration stationary energy storage with superior features.

BASF Stationary Energy Storage GmbH (BSES) is a wholly owned subsidiary of BASF SE. BSES is the exclusive distributer of the NAS batteries and co-develops the NAS technology together with its Japanese partner NGK Insulators Ltd.

  • Regularly analyze the performance and cost structures of existing suppliers and drive related optimization measures to continuously improve the comprehensive supply chain
  • Lead projects to de-bottleneck, optimize, ramp-up, or structurally change the supply structure including investment projects and make-or-buy analysis
  • Contribute to the further design development of battery parts and actively support the suppliers in translating the latest developments into their production
  • Build strong networks within diverse, international teams and foster a collaborative, trustworthy, respectful, proactive, open-minded, and high-performing culture creating tangible results

Subject to availability and qualification you may have the opportunity to fulfill your responsibilities at our Japanese partner's existing production plant in Nagoya through a short-term assignment.
