About Us

Exergy3 is a pioneering company specialising in ultra-high temperature thermal energy storage technology, with a mission to drive the decarbonisation of heat across Europe and beyond. As a spin-out from the University of Edinburgh, we are at the forefront of clean heat innovation, providing scalable, efficient, and cost-effective decarbonisation solutions for industrial processes and large-scale building heating. 

As we grow, we're looking for someone exceptional to become a trusted go-to person for the team and help keep the business running smoothly as we scale.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants more than a traditional office manager or PA job. You'll sit at the centre of the company, working closely with all members of the team, from engineers to the CEO.

If you're organised, curious, proactive, energetic, and excited by fast-moving environments, this role offers a rare opportunity to learn how a start-up grows from the inside.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Business Administration, you will work closely with the team as a high-trust, high-impact partner, helping to organise priorities, manage logistics, and ensure the business runs efficiently.

At the same time, you will oversee the smooth running of the office and take on projects that support the wider team. The role combines office management, operational support, and practical IT coordination, with the opportunity to take on new responsibilities as the company grows.

No two days will look the same: you'll need to be able to function in an evolving business where priorities change regularly.
