What are the responsibilities and job description for the Office and Administrative Coordinator position at TerraFlow Energy?
ABOUT TERRAFLOW ENERGY
TerraFlow Energy builds redox flow battery systems for long-duration energy storage. We are scaling from early manufacturing toward Gigafactory capacity, and our Katy facility is the operational center of that work. This is a hands-on environment where people move fast and take ownership of the details.
POSITION SUMMARY
