 FAQs

  • Yes! We can support you with housing and travel. We will provide you with more information about this during your first call with the recruiter.

  • You will be employed at NOVO Energy from the start. For your first 18-24 months you will be on leave from NOVO Energy and get a temporary employment at Northvolt.

  • We apply market-based wages, in accordance with collective agreements. More details will be provided during your recruitment process.

  • As in all production environments, there are risks.

As part of your initial training, weā€™ll introduce you to all of this, and thereafter provide ongoing opportunities to expand your skills and experiences to prepare you for growing into more senior roles.

  • Production of battery materials and cells requires highly controlled environments in order to assure high-quality products. Therefore, itā€™s important that much of the cell production process takes place in clean & dry rooms ā€“ environments that limit dirt and particles and are temperature and humidity controlled. Working in a clean & dry room is similar to working in a lab environment, and it requires specific training and protective clothing.
