The world needs to double energy consumption by 2045 in order to deliver on the energy transition and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG:s). The focus has so far largely been on the production of renewable energy, and less on the equally pressing issue of how the new electricity is to be transported to its final destination (factories, companies, end consumers).

The electric grid is the backbone of our society and a key piece in the energy transition. Today, it is far from in a condition that can handle the increased volume and complexity. Huge and urgent investments are needed to make the grid stronger, more efficient and more resilient.

Skyqraft is a deeptech software company on a mission to future-proof the world’s energy infrastructure. We are doing this by revolutionizing the multibillion Euro infrastructure inspection market, setting a new industry standard for how grid inspections can be done in a safe, sustainable and smart way. With strong tailwinds in the industry, Skyqraft is now expanding internationally.

We are looking for top talent to join our fast-growing team. An opportunity to play a key role in helping Skyqraft scale.

As a team, we are driven, fast-paced, multicultural and interdisciplinary, passionate about solving challenging problems, building cutting-edge technology and helping our clients make smarter and more sustainable decisions.
