Project Engineer (6 month Contract)

Company Description

Allye Energy is building an intelligent energy management platform that transforms how businesses and communities store, share, and optimise electricity. We're creating "energy banking" that combines battery storage with AI-powered software to make clean energy more accessible, affordable, and flexible.

By installing batteries at businesses and alongside legacy grid infrastructure, Allye Energy is building a network of distributed energy storage assets that solve local grid constraints, stabilise networks, and reduce energy costs. Our energy banking model makes energy storage 100 times more affordable for all consumers, providing the flexibility to deposit and withdraw electricity from shared batteries across our network. This revolutionary approach empowers local communities, creates a smarter grid, and accelerates the transition to renewable energy.
