We are looking for an ambitious Operations and Logistics Planner who will lead the planning, coordination, and delivery of our Hydrogen Supply business. The role will work closely with Sales and Operations to deliver the near-term cash flow of the business and will be integral to the interface of sales and delivery. The role is multifaceted and requires an individual who can quickly distill and balance the technical, operational, and commercial needs of our customers against our operational planning and delivery requirements. The role will report into the Director of Operations and collaborate with customers, suppliers, and our in-house team.

Job Responsibilities – Hydrogen Contract Logistics Manager

1. Act as the primary interface between Sales and Operations teams, ensuring seamless coordination and alignment on sales pipeline and production planning.
2. Own and manage the end-to-end logistics schedule for the delivery of customer contracts, from order intake to production planning, logistics planning, and final delivery, ensuring all contracts are delivered reliably, timely, and customer-centric.
3. Coordinate with Operations, Sales, and Haulage partners to align on timelines, resources, and production planning.
4. Develop and maintain dynamic logistics schedules using project management tools (e.g., Production Planning software, MS Project), incorporating changes from customer or internal stakeholders through Vendor Managed Inventory.
5. Ensure compliance with all regulatory and safety requirements related to the handling and transport of high-pressure hydrogen vessels.
6. Identify and manage haulage partners to ensure safe, timely, and cost-effective movement of hydrogen storage and delivery systems, including tendering, pricing, and contract management.
7. Support wider operational and strategic initiatives to build and optimize operations, such as scaling our fleet of distribution assets and strategic partner identification.
8. Lead weekly cross-functional logistics and delivery meetings to report on status, risks, and mitigation strategies.
9. Analyze and optimize logistics workflows to improve delivery efficiency and reduce operational bottlenecks.
10. Support contract negotiations from a logistics and delivery feasibility perspective, identifying key delivery risks and opportunities.
11. Maintain detailed documentation and records for each delivery to support traceability, auditing, and continuous improvement.
12. Contribute to strategic planning for scalable logistics infrastructure as green hydrogen production and distribution ramp up.
