About Rondo Energy

Rondo Energy's mission is to eliminate 15% of global CO2 emissions in 15 years.

To accomplish this mission, Rondo is deploying low-cost, zero-carbon Rondo Heat Batteries to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy and to significantly decarbonize industrial processes that are commonly thought of as "difficult-to-decarbonize". Our Heat Batteries charge from intermittent renewables to provide high temperature, continuous heat for customers safely, reliably, at an unprecedented 98% efficiency - and at a cost point that is lower than any other method.

The European Project Development Attorney shall be responsible for reviewing and negotiating Rondo Heat Battery storage-as-a-service agreements and providing legal support to the project development process including, but not limited to, working with local counsel on permitting and regulatory matters. The business is growing at a rapid pace and key to Rondo’s success will be an attorney who is comfortable with hyper-growth operating environments. This is an excellent opportunity to join an early-stage company focused on decarbonization and to have a huge global impact.

Join our team and together we can reduce world CO ₂ emissions by 1% in 10 years, and by 15% in 15 years!
