Job description

A growing clean-energy engineering business is looking for a hands-on Senior Electrical Engineer to take ownership of electrical design across new product development and live engineering projects.

You’ll be working on real, physical systems including hydrogen power systems and ammonia cracking technology taking designs from concept through to build, test and deployment.

This role is ideal for a strong Senior Engineer ready to step up, or an existing Lead who still wants to stay close to the engineering.
