Grants Project Manager - Gov Innovate UK Applications

Anybody can build a battery. We engineer them to last..

We are Danecca - a specialist battery engineering company based in Silverstone, partnering with the likes of Scania, Vertical Aerospace, WAE, JLR, Lotus Group, Maple, Mercedes AMG & Yasa.

Recognised internationally for engineering excellence, we are headed up by our very smart Founder & MD, Danson, who holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering, ex National Grid and innovator at Jaguar Land Rover where he led the team that delivered the battery for the World Car of the Year 2019, the Jaguar I-Pace. Impressive. Yes… but Danson saw an opportunity to be better & innovate faster and thus in 2018 he founded Danecca.

We're seeking a passionate Grants Project Manager experienced in Innovate Projects to support our engineering team to build our future innovations.

If you are looking for your next opportunity with a scaling company, we want to talk.

Our hiring philosophy:

People who align with our Purpose and Value

People who have a Willingness to succeed and drive through adversity, and

Skill as a final selector.

If someone has all the skill and no alignment of values and willingness, they can be the biggest rockstar there is, but not one for this band.

This role will require you to apply for Innovate Projects backed by our technology team, lead the discussions and complete the admin entailed for the engineering team to complete their project.

We’ll spare you the long list duties ripped from the job description - we can discuss that later.

But we do need to throw down what we think you’ll need to succeed in this role:

+ Previous experience / knowledge in Innovate UK or Gov Funded Projects

+ Worked in an engineering environment / R&D

+ Super sharp and get stuff done (right now)
