This business specializes in high-performance PEM electrolysers for large scale green hydrogen production. Their patented technology allows their electrolysers to operate more efficient and at higher current densities than any other electrolyser technology on the market. This is a considerable commercial advantage as green hydrogen is having a central role in shaping a sustainable energy future. They believe that the full potential of renewables can only be realized by large scale energy storage and the use of hydrogen in heavy duty transportation, maritime sector and in industrial processes.
This is an innovative, fast growing, high-tech company, based at Høvik, just outside Oslo, Norway. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of the company as well as develop your own career. We are seeking an ambitious and passionate engineer that can help to maintain and further build their laboratory infrastructure used for the production and testing of their PEM electrolysers.
Job description:
As a laboratory engineer, you will be part of a team of experienced researchers and engineers developing, constructing, and testing electrolysers. The work includes maintenance, troubleshooting, fixing, and documenting all the equipment within the R&D facility. This requires detailed planning and organization from your part in order to maximize operational time. You will also assist other researchers and engineers in a wide variety of ongoing research projects and initiatives, making sure the experimental setup is fully functional and safe, and that the necessary measurement equipment is calibrated. You will also have a crucial role in maintaining and improving HSE and 5S standards. They also plan to design and construct their own electrolyser test stations, in this work you will be responsible for ordering parts, and constructing and commissioning this new equipment.
You should expect some travelling, both domestically and abroad. Main purpose of the traveling would be to accompany and participate in the commissioning of commercial systems in the field at customer sites.
Both senior and junior candidates are encouraged to apply for this position.
