Manufacturing Engineer
Let us tell you a little bit about us
Modvion builds the next generation of sustainable wind turbine towers with laminated wood – natures carbon fiber. Using wood enables radical reductions in carbon emissions, making it possible to generate net zero energy from wind power. In fact, considering that wood is also storing carbon, the tower itself is carbon negative – storing more carbon than is produced during manufacturing, transport and installation. To reach stronger and more stable winds and produce more energy, wind turbines are getting bigger in every sense. Thanks to our patented module system, we have developed a cost-effective solution enabling transportation for installations of tall towers.
At Modvion you get to work with driven, positive and creative people who inspire each other. What we’re doing can make a real difference for the climate and accelerate the transition to renewable energy. Take the chance to join one of the most interesting companies in cleantech at a pivotal time!
Modvions first commercial wind turbine tower was installed in 2023 and the interest from customers has never been higher. It is an exciting time to join us!
What will you be doing
We are on a growth journey, going from a low volume production site to a future with multiple high volume manufacturing sites and international installation of our towers. To enable and execute on our growth plan we are expanding the Manufacturing Engineering team with several members, and here is where you will play a vital role!
You will be an essential member of Modvion's Manufacturing Engineering team. The team is responsible for all the manufacturing technologies, methods and equipment throughout the whole production chain from module manufacturing, section assembly, tower erection to installation.
You will work within the Manufacturing Engineering team but as a small and close organisation you will be in regular contact with our founders, top management, business team and product development team through all the development projects. The company is constantly evolving, and your role, responsibilities and deliverables will change with it over time.
When taking part of our manufacturing journey you will be directly involved in many tasks and areas such as:
- Project management and new product projects collaboration
- Design and improvement work on production and process flow, layouts and production equipment, both for existing and future manufacturing processes
- Research and develop new manufacturing, assembly and installation technologies and equipment for next generation of products
- Procuring and commissioning of new production equipment and tools

About Modvion
Modvion enables climate-neutral wind power by building wind power towers from laminated wood - nature's own carbon fiber. Wood is stronger than steel at the same weight, stores carbon for a long time and has a lower cost. Modvion's wooden towers are built in modules, which enables cost-efficent taller towers and increased electricity production.
