ITM Power is committed to clean sustainable energy solutions based around water electrolysis. Our principal motivation is to engineer zero-carbon hydrogen energy systems that provide energy security and independence from fossil fuels.

ITM's electrolyser and fuel cell technologies have the potential to become the cornerstones of a future hydrogen economy based on 'green' hydrogen. Our hydrogen systems are able to convert renewable energy to a clean fuel, that can be indefinitely stored for use in transport, residential and industrial applications.

As a result of continued development they are now looking to appoint a Director of Engineering / Engineering Director to their team to lead a team of multi-skilled design and development engineers, manufacturing and assembly personnel, installation and commissioning technicians, service and maintenance engineers, testing and quality technicians, and third party suppliers and partners.

• Be able to demonstrate success in working at Director or Senior Manager level in a manufacturing, chemical engineering or gas environment.
• Be experienced in leading multi-disciplined product research, design and development teams.
• Possess a “lead from the front” mentality, being as happy on the shop floor with your sleeves rolled up and a spanner in your hand as in project review meetings.
• Have a solid understanding of the Pressure Equipment Directive, ATEX regulations and the requirements for CE marking.
• Experienced in building and managing engineering teams, and able to add real value to those teams.
• A proficient project manager.
• Commercially aware.
• Able to work as a key member of a senior management team.

Salary is negotiable according to experience but is likely to be in the range of £60,000-£80,000 plus benefits; more may be available to secure an outstanding candidate.
