Business Development Manager - Europe
H-Power is a UK-based, AIM-listed clean energy company developing zero-emissions hydrogen power systems. Using ammonia to produce low-carbon hydrogen at the point of need, and fuel cells to convert it into reliable, off-grid power, H-Power offers a scalable, practical alternative to fossil fuels, serving construction, infrastructure, transport and power generation sectors. Behind the technology is a team driven by a shared purpose: to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.
The Role
As a Business Development Manager you will lead the growth of H-Power’s fuel cell generator business across Europe, building a strong pipeline of opportunities within the construction, temporary power and equipment rental markets. The role will initially focus on fuel cell generators, with scope to expand into ammonia cracker technologies over time.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute the European business development strategy for H-Power’s fuel cell generator portfolio.
- Generate new opportunities and expand an existing pipeline of qualified leads.
- Build relationships with generator manufacturers, distributors, rental companies and end users.
- Arrange and lead customer meetings, presentations and commercial discussions across priority European markets.
- Negotiate commercial agreements and support the preparation of proposals, pricing and contracts.
- Provide market intelligence and competitor insights to support product and investment decisions.
- Work closely with technical, product and operations teams to align customer requirements with delivery capability.
- Represent H-Power at industry events, exhibitions and customer sites across Europe.
- Take increasing ownership of the European commercial function as the business scales.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
