Staff work with industry partners to de-risk and deploy energy storage technologies in the real world.

Working with experts across PNNL and in collaboration with our research partners in government, industry, academia, and at other National Laboratories, you will support efforts to build new, high visibility research programs that leverage BMS Group capabilities to meet the technology goals of the Department of Energy and other key stakeholders. As a line manager, you will be responsible for hiring, developing, and retaining a diverse staff of world class experts in energy storage; maintaining the PNNL’s reputation for high quality research and on-time delivery; and sustaining a strong safety culture.
