Material Flow Engineer

Company Overview 

Ore Energy is on a mission to fundamentally expand the amount of energy society can reliably harness and use, helping move civilization toward a more abundant energy future. We are doing this by developing long-duration, utility-scale iron-air batteries that provide safe, low-cost, multi-day energy storage for electricity grids and data centers. Our technology is designed to enable renewable power to become a dependable source of energy at scale, supporting the transition to a cleaner, more resilient and more electrified world.

Ore Energy has built significant momentum toward commercial deployment. The company has raised a significant amount of investment from leading European investors, demonstrated its technology under real-world utility conditions, and is now moving toward large-scale commercial deployments.

Role Overview 

We are expanding our industrialization capabilities and are looking for a Material Flow Engineer to join our Factory Engineering team in Amsterdam. You will shape how materials, components and products move through our manufacturing operations as we design, build and ramp our first commercial production facility.

Working closely with Process Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain, you will define, optimize and deliver material flow solutions across production, warehouse and logistics interfaces. This is a hands-on role in an early factory design and ramp-up environment, focused on building practical, scalable and efficient material flow systems from day one.

This role reports to Axel Save, Head of Factory Engineering.

• Define, optimize and deliver material flow solutions (both automated and manual) across manufacturing and warehouse operations; including storage, buffering, line feeding and auxiliary internal logistics. 

• Support factory and line layout development with a focus on flow efficiency, operability and scalability.

• Define requirements for material handling, packaging and intralogistics systems, manage vendors and drive implementation from specification through installation and ramp-up.

• Analyze production flows and material handling needs to identify bottlenecks and practical improvement opportunities. 

• Collaborate closely with Process Engineering, Manufacturing, Industrial Engineering and Supply Chain to ensure that the production system operates as an integrated, holistic whole.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Logistics Engineering, Production Engineering or a related engineering field.

• 3+ years of experience in material flow engineering, manufacturing engineering, intralogistics or similar roles in production/industrial environments.

• Proven hands-on understanding of manufacturing flows, material handling systems and operational realities on the shop floor.

• Practical experience working with vendors, integrators or logistics system suppliers in industrial contexts. 

• Background in start-up or scale-up manufacturing environments is considered a strong plus.

• Structured, collaborative and pragmatic problem solver, comfortable working hands-on in both design and operations.
