H-Power
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 provides a practical alternative to fossil fuels across construction, infrastructure, transport and power generation.
Behind the technology is a team driven by a shared purpose: to accelerate the shift away from fossil fuels.
The Role
H-Power is looking for a practical, mechanically minded Development & Test Technician to help build, test and commission its HY-5 ammonia cracker technology.
You’ll be working as part of the Development and Verification team, across laboratory, build and test areas assembling and modifying test rigs, running development tests, setting up instrumentation and investigating faults.
The work covers subsystems, reactor assemblies and gas systems, including high-pressure reactor test rigs. Previous gas or hydrogen experience would be useful but isn’t essential, as full gas-safety and product training will be provided.
