Ceres is a global leader in solid oxide technology driving the clean energy revolution. Our steelsupported fuel cell and electrolyser technology provides partners with a decade of development advantage enabling faster innovation across power generation green hydrogen and distributed power solutions for data centres. At Ceres innovation is part of who we are. Join us and become part of a worldclass team making a meaningful and positive impact on the planet.
Purpose of the role:
We are seeking an inquisitive and highly organised engineer who can adapt to the challenges of engineering a safer greener future. As Ceres continues to rewrite the rulebook in solidoxide electrochemistry this role offers the opportunity to demonstrate that worldclass technology must be underpinned by worldclass safety engineering.
The role combines the principles and processes of process safety with the multidisciplinary problemsolving and attention to detail associated with systems engineering and is responsible for developing robust safety cases for Ceres technologies. This includes identifying and analysing hazards and potential control measures for fuel cell and electrolysis stacks systems and test stands preparing clear safety case arguments and technical documentation and collaborating with internal teams and external partners to develop and document safety management plans.
The role manages the delivery and evidencing of all activities required to support safety cases across product development and technology demonstration programmes and liaises closely with development and demonstration partners to ensure effective safety assurance of demonstrations and pilots including related knowledge transfer under licence.
Knowledge and skills required:
Degree in Systems Engineering Mechanical Engineering Chemical Engineering or related disciplines
Knowledge of systems safety management processes tools and techniques including but not limited to HAZOP HAZID LOPA
Experience of the full project lifecycle from initiation through development and operation to end of life
Experience of formal certification/approval of a complex system (e.g. fuel cells automotive aerospace chemical plants)
Working knowledge of functional safety standards (e.g. IEC 61508 ISO 26262 IEC 61511) and their real-world application
Experience with structured engineering tools and processes applicable to for example risk management problem resolution or requirements management
Understanding of basic principles of a wide range of technical disciplines (e.g. thermodynamics mechanical design chemical processes electrical/electronic systems) and demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally
Working exposure to safety aspects related to hazardous substances flammable atmospheres gaseous hydrogen O2-enriched environments
Willingness to adapt and tailor working practices to suit the demands of the business
Strong logical and problem-solving skills with the ability to conduct thorough risk assessments
