Job description

**About Moment Energy** Independent energy is here. Help us deploy it. Energy should be free. Free from aging grids, fragile supply chains, and unnecessary extraction. At Moment Energy, we’re building a world where clean power is abundant, affordable, and uninterrupted for everyone. The world doesn’t need another promise about energy; it needs proof that a freer future is possible. Moment Energy is the pragmatic liberator of power, the only company certified to turn the largest untapped energy supply into independent energy. Now is the moment. While the industry scraps millions of batteries with decades of life left, we put them to work by repurposing large-format batteries into advanced battery energy storage systems that deliver real-world impact. We were told second-life batteries would never be safe enough or scalable enough. We didn’t argue, we engineered the solution. Today, Moment Energy delivers 5x the energy density and holds the certifications required to deploy energy independence at scale. **Now is the moment. Join us.** **The Role** The **Inventory Controller** is responsible for ensuring we know what materials we have, where they are, how they are being used, and when we need to replenish them. This role will control the flow of materials into and out of inventory, maintain accurate records in our ERP system, and establish processes that improve inventory accountability and availability.
