What’s it like to work at Piclo?
Piclo was founded on a vision of a world powered by cheap and abundant renewable electricity and we are on a mission to make our energy system smart, flexible and clean, faster.
Against the backdrop of climate change and the associated rise in demand for renewables, electric vehicles and battery storage, Piclo will accelerate a transformation of the energy industry to upgrade our electricity grids. We are not powerless against climate change.
Our team welcomes everyone to work together on our mission and it is important to us to have an environment that is supportive, respectful and fun! We have flexible working and every other Friday there is a whole team “show and tell” meeting where over a (now virtual) drink, the latest work from the production team and notable updates are shared with everyone.
