AESC is a global leader in lithium‑ion and LFP battery technology, with a fast‑growing footprint across Japan, the UK, France, China, and the USA. Soon expanding into Spain, the company will open a €1‑billion gigafactory in Extremadura by 2026, creating up to 900 direct jobs in phase one. The Spanish facility is designed as the first net‑zero industrial park gigafactory in the country, aligning with AESC’s mission to pioneer sustainable battery manufacturing.
Role Purpose
As the
Hospitality & Office Service Manager
in our Extremadura Office (Navalmoral de la Mata), you will lead the operational setup and daily service management of the site. The role is responsible for ensuring a fully functional, high‑quality working environment, managing facility services, vendors, and employee support operations. The ideal candidate combines facility management, hospitality mindset, and operational leadership, with experience in launching or managing complex sites such as industrial facilities, hotels, student residences, or large service operations.
Initially, you will be part of the construction team, transitioning to the operation team once plant construction is complete. During construction, you will be involved in designing common areas (canteen, recreation area, reception). This is a hands‑on operational role focused on daily office services management (cleaning, catering, employee services), not a strategic or corporate real‑estate position.
