Lead Green Hydrogen Engineer – Commissioning & Storage

Role Purpose

Lead commissioning and operational readiness of green hydrogen production and storage systems from pre-commissioning through performance testing and handover.

Key Responsibilities

1. Lead commissioning and readiness of hydrogen production conditioning and storage systems through startup and handover.
2. Lead commissioning and startup of PEM and AWE electrolyzers including first hydrogen production and performance verification.
3. Oversee hydrogen purification drying compression and storage systems for safe and reliable operation.
4. Ensure process safety HAZOP ESD gas detection instrumentation and control requirements.
5. Coordinate hydrogen operations with renewable power BESS EMS and hydrogen-to-power systems.
6. Lead performance and acceptance testing against capacity efficiency and reliability requirements.
7. Coordinate technical interfaces across hydrogen production storage renewable power BESS water utilities and hydrogen-to-power systems.
8. Manage EPC OEM and technology-provider technical interfaces commissioning issues and delivery risks.
9. Ensure operational readiness technical handover statutory compliance and operating documentation.
10. Drive reliability maintainability performance improvement and technology optimization.

Required Qualifications and Competencies

1. Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Chemical Mechanical or a related engineering discipline.
2. 12–16 years of relevant experience in green hydrogen electrolyzer chemical process energy or large-scale infrastructure projects.
3. Hands-on experience with PEM and AWE electrolyzers balance-of-plant hydrogen production purification drying compression high-pressure storage piping and gas handling.
4. Strong knowledge of hydrogen process safety HAZID/HAZOP gas detection ESD and process control systems.
5. Experience managing EPC/OEM interfaces commissioning performance testing an operational handover.
6. Experience integrating hydrogen with renewable power and BESS; hydrogen-to-power experience is advantageous.
7. Strong leadership communication and stakeholder-management capability across EPCs OEMs and multidisciplinary teams.
