Battery Sourcing Lead in Surrey

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 Battery Sourcing Lead will play a critical role in building and managing Moment Energy’s battery supply network. You will identify potential sources of retired and end-of-life EV batteries, proactively develop relationships with manufacturers and other industry partners, and coordinate the movement of battery packs from source to their next destination. This role is highly relationship-driven and requires someone who is comfortable picking up the phone, cold contacting potential partners, staying informed on developments across the EV and battery industry, and identifying opportunities before they become widely available. You will work closely with our Operations, Engineering, and Leadership teams to understand our battery needs, secure supply, and ensure each battery pack is tracked and routed appropriately once it enters our network.

Responsibilities and Duties

• Build battery supply partnerships with EV manufacturers, automotive companies, battery suppliers, recyclers, fleet operators, and other organizations that may have retired or surplus EV batteries.

• Coordinate internally to determine the appropriate next destination and use of each battery pack based on its condition, specifications, and Moment Energy's operational needs.
• Build repeatable processes for battery sourcing, intake, tracking, and handoff as our supply network scales.
• Maintain strong relationships with existing battery suppliers to support recurring and long-term supply.
• Collaborate with Engineering and Operations to understand upcoming battery requirements and align sourcing activities with production and development needs.
• Identify opportunities to expand Moment Energy's battery sourcing network across North America.
• Stay current on the EV, battery, automotive, and energy storage industries to anticipate changes in battery availability and emerging sourcing opportunities.
• Provide regular updates on sourcing activity, upcoming supply opportunities, partnerships, and potential risks to battery availability.

• Safety is our Foundation: We prioritize the safety of our products, customers, employees, and the general public above all else. From the workshop to the field, we maintain the highest standards for our batteries in testing manufacturing and deployment, and daily operations. Safety is not only about procedures—it is about vigilance, responsibility, and speaking up when something does not feel right. Safety is everyone's responsibility. We follow safety protocols, use proper equipment, and continuously improve our systems to prevent risks before they occur. If something is unsafe, we stop work and address it. Safety also means protecting our colleagues, customers, and communities by designing reliable products, maintaining safe workspaces, and ensuring our work is done carefully and responsibly.

• We’re Open, Honest and Accountable: We prioritize open and honest communication to foster mutual understanding, strengthen knowledge sharing, and reduce miscommunication within the team. We admit when we’ve made a mistake, and remedy our actions. We transparently communicate outcomes whether good, bad, or unexpected.
• We Think and Act like Owners: We’re self-starters that proactively embrace new challenges along with personal and collective ownership of responsibilities in the organization. We focus on growth, not titles, and we do what needs to be done.
• We Treat Everyone with Respect: We actively listen, share openly, and work together towards common goals. We treat one another with mutual respect to cultivate an inclusive environment where everyone feels accepted, supported, and heard. We keep an open mind and are willing to learn.
