Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

RECRUITMENTiQ is working in partnership with a fast-growing engineering company that develops novel cascade hydrogen fuelling technology for a wide range of hydrogen-powered applications, where high-pressure, safe and cost-effective hydrogen storage, distributionand dispensing solutions enable end users to operate zero-emission products.Our team ofhighly experienced industry experts, coupled with early career engineers and scientists, is currently dedicated to the provision and scale-up of its core product offering, the mobile Pioneer Hydrogen Refuelling Station (HRS).With a clear focus on accelerating hydrogen transportation across the UK and Europe, our innovative and convenient hydrogen refuelling system is specifically developed to facilitate hydrogen mobility and rapid, low-cost deployment of the support infrastructureneeded to encourage the adoption of hydrogen vehicles from buses and heavy-duty trucks to construction and material handling equipment.As a company driven by the twin goals of reducing carbon emissions and local air pollution, our primary objective is to supply optimal solutions for delivering hydrogen in the endeavour for hydrogen to become a major energy vector in a decarbonised world.About the Role:Manufacturing Engineers (MEs) are business integrators. In collaboration with Design Engineering, they translate product design definitions into optimised manufacturable products. An ME develops and improves manufacturing processes and procedures by applyinginnovation and best practices within the product and manufacturing delivery frameworks. They further optimise associated processes and procedures for safety and efficiency by integrating engineered methods throughout the manufacturing environment. At its core,the manufacturing method must be grounded in HSE-optimised manufacturing solutions for people, businesses, and products. This role will utilise those core ME skills and focus on issues around mobile hydrogen refuelling stations in service and in the field.Manufacturing Engineer Job Duties: Understands, documents, controls and anticipates operations and in-service conditions to ensure mobile hydrogen refuelling equipment performs as intended. Prescribes manufacturing processes to maximise productivity by eliminating wastes; designing and conducting research programs; applying knowledge of product design, fabrication, assembly, tooling, and materials; conferring with equipment vendors; solicitingobservations and experience from operators. Develops manufacturing processes by studying product requirements; researching, designing, modifying, and testing manufacturing methods and equipment; conferring with equipment vendors. Assures product and process quality by designing testing methods; testing finished- product and process capabilities; establishing standards; confirming manufacturing processes. Provides manufacturing decision-making information by calculating production, labour, and material costs; reviewing production schedules; estimating future requirements. Prepares product and process reports by collecting, analysing, and summarizing information and trends.
