Who we are | GIGA Storage
At GIGA Storage we build large-scale battery energy storage systems that accelerate the transition to a reliable and renewable energy system. Our technology stores electricity when supply is high and releases it when the grid needs it most, helping to stabilise the electricity grid and enable more renewable energy.
As we continue to grow, GIGA is transitioning from an ambitious scale-up into a professional multi-asset battery energy storage operator. With projects such as our 300 MW project 'Leopard' in Delfzijl and a rapidly expanding portfolio, technology and data are becoming increasingly critical to our success.
To support this growth, we are strengthening our IT organization. That is why we are looking for an experienced IT transition manager who can help shape the future of IT at GIGA and build a scalable foundation for the years ahead.
