Battery Assembly Lead Hand
Moment Energy is seeking a Battery Assembly Lead Hand to lead the safe assembly, inspection, and testing of our battery energy storage systems.
In this hands-on leadership role, you'll oversee a production team responsible for assembling battery modules, power electronics, and high-voltage components into complete energy storage systems. Working closely with our Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality teams, you'll help ensure every product meets the highest standards of safety, quality, and performance while supporting the growth of our manufacturing operations.
Responsibilities and Duties
Lead the final assembly of high-voltage battery systems, including battery modules, busbars, structural components, and high-voltage wire harnesses.
Install power electronics, control boards, and low-voltage wire harnesses, ensuring proper alignment and termination.
Ensure all electrical connections meet required torque specifications and accurately record torque values.
Perform detailed visual and physical inspections of incoming battery modules and completed battery packs, checking for damage, defects, and foreign object debris (FOD).
Conduct insulation resistance (Megger/Hi-Pot) and voltage continuity testing before battery packs are energized.
Maintain accurate documentation of cell voltages, serial numbers, component batch numbers, and torque values for every battery pack.
Safely connect battery packs to automated charge/discharge test stations and run Battery Management System (BMS) test profiles.
Monitor charge/discharge testing and verify system performance throughout the testing process.
Establish and enforce live-work boundaries to maintain a safe battery assembly environment.
Follow arc flash safety protocols by properly using CAT 4 (40 cal/cm²) arc flash suits, Class 0/1 insulated gloves, face shields, and other required PPE.
Ensure battery safety equipment, including safety hooks, fire blankets, sand tables, and thermal cameras, is ready for use at all times.
The Candidate
We’re looking for individuals with the following traits, skills, and experiences:
3–5 years of experience with high-voltage battery systems (300V–1000V+) or high-power electrical systems in a manufacturing, testing, or industrial environment.
Experience assembling, integrating, inspecting, and testing electrical or battery systems.
Hands-on experience using electrical test equipment such as digital multimeters, insulation resistance testers (Megger/Hi-Pot), battery cyclers, and similar diagnostic equipment.
Strong understanding of high-voltage electrical safety practices and energized work procedures.
Certification or training in CSA Z462 (Workplace Electrical Safety), NFPA 70E, or equivalent electrical safety standards.
Experience working in energized electrical environments while using Category 4 (CAT 4) arc flash PPE.
Experience maintaining accurate production, quality, and traceability documentation.
Proven ability to lead production activities, mentor technicians, and uphold high standards of workmanship and safety.
Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to following structured assembly, testing, and quality procedures.
Nice-to-Have Experience:
Canadian Journey-person certification (Industrial Electrician, Electronics Technician, or a related trade).
Experience working with lithium-ion battery systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturing.
Experience in aerospace, marine, renewable energy, or other high-voltage industries.
Familiarity with Battery Management Systems (BMS), CAN bus communication, and battery diagnostic software.
Experience supporting continuous improvement initiatives within a manufacturing or production environment.
