High-Density Hydro uses a mineral fluid around two and a half times denser than water, so a hill does the work that conventional pumped hydro needs a mountain to do. Long duration storage becomes possible on terrain nobody could use before, which opens up over one hundred thousand sites in Europe. Our demonstrator in Devon has been generating since December 2025. We aren’t selling a simulation; we can put a customer in front of a machine that runs. We are a start-up, with backing from the UK government and European Innovation Council. Around 35 people across the UK and a technology centre in Montreal, heading into a Series A. We licence our technology rather than build projects ourselves, so our customers own the assets and we supply the equipment, the fluid, the controls and the engineering behind them.

Purpose of the Role <hr>To own the commercial cycle in Europe from end to end: finding the opportunity, qualifying it, shaping it into a real project, negotiating the agreement and signing it. Your customers are the organisations that need large amounts of energy storage and have the capital to build it: developers, IPPs, utilities, asset owners, industrial energy users, data centre developers, infrastructure investors and channel partners. You take them through the full commercial sequence, from feasibility and engineering studies to development agreements to technology supply and licence contracts.You will also shape where we go.

RheEnergise&rsquo;s mission is to facilitate lifetime clean energy abundance across the world with our High-Density Hydro&reg; solution. Based on traditional pumped hydro power, our innovative technology uses a fluid with 2.5x the density of water, meaning that projects can be installed on small hills instead of mountains. With this scalable, cost-effective, zero-carbon solution, we will facilitate the global transition to an energy system powered by renewables.
RheEnergise recognises that to create meaningful change, we need to deliver a solution in the urgent timeframes demanded by the climate crisis. Our business model has been built around the need to scale at speed, and our people are fundamental to ensuring we are able to reach this goal.&nbsp; &nbsp; With a diverse team of people across a broad spectrum of disciplines, RheEnergise employees are united by the same objective; to transform the energy system and work toward a sustainable future.&nbsp;
