🚨 Systems Engineer – FOAK Technology
📍 London
🌱 Clean Technology | Scale-up | First-of-a-Kind Systems
I’m supporting a pioneering clean technology business that is developing a new approach to hydrogen production.
They are looking for a Systems Engineer to help scale their technology from laboratory development into large, containerised industrial systems.
This is a hands-on role sitting at the point where R&D becomes commercial deployment. You’ll take ownership of the overall system architecture, bringing together process, mechanical, electrical, controls and safety requirements into a fully integrated solution.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading the systems engineering and integration of containerised hydrogen modules
- Defining the overall architecture across process, mechanical, electrical, controls and safety
- Producing and reviewing PFDs, P&IDs, process calculations and design documentation
- Contributing to HAZOPs, hazard assessments and safety-by-design decisions
- Managing technical trade-offs around hydrogen safety, electrical segregation, performance and operability
- Supporting the scale-up of first-of-a-kind technology from pilot stage into commercial deployment
- Working closely with internal modelling, process and engineering specialists
- Acting as a technical interface with EPCs, construction partners, clients and project-delivery teams
- Supporting installation, commissioning and site-based problem-solving
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.
