Who We Are
Bluewater provides comprehensive and innovative solutions for managing the lifecycle of large format batteries and solar panels. As a startup committed to further developing a circular economy, we innovate in the reuse, recycling, and resale of EV, e-mobility, material handling equipment, and energy storage technologies to promote sustainability and resource efficiency. We’re on an exciting mission to reduce inefficiencies and enable a secondary marketplace for renewable energy equipment, and we’re doing it in an emerging segment of renewable energy where strong operators can set the standard for growth and innovation.
The Opportunity
Bluewater is hiring a Senior Account Manager to help manage and grow its strategic customer relationships across the renewable energy supply chain. This role is centered on key account management, across the Company’s Battery recycling and reuse division. You'll oversee a portfolio of customers, recyclers, and strategic partners while identifying new opportunities as equipment becomes available. Working closely with Procurement, Operations, and Leadership, you'll guide opportunities from initial pricing discussions through contract execution and project handoff.
We’re looking for someone who is eager to learn, motivated, adaptable, and excited to grow within an emerging industry. If you’re energized by relationship-building, problem-solving, and working in a high-growth startup environment, this could be a great fit.
