An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Hydrogen Technician to join the world-renowned Power Electronics, Machines and Control Institute (PEMC) at the University of Nottingham, where you will have the opportunity to contribute to the development of cutting-edge technologies for power generation, marine, aerospace, and automotive applications. You will be involved in commissioning and supporting a new cryogenic test facility and delivering pioneering research programmes.
The University of Nottingham is at the forefront of innovative research in propulsion electrification. Operating from a world-renowned manufacturing and testing centre for the advancement of electric propulsion, with a drive to support industry in their efforts towards lower emission travel.
About The Role
The post holder will be part of a highly skilled technical team supporting the facilities activities and will work with other technical and commercial staff to provide a professional testing service for research and commercial projects.

The role requires the management of time and tasks across the portfolio of projects to deliver campaigns in a timely manner, and leading and supporting in both electrical and mechanical installation, including calibration, certification and maintenance.
