If you’re reading this advert you are either curious about what’s on the market right now or wanting to leave your current job – but most Systems Engineers I speak to ask me about the below, so I’ll save you some time and be honest with what to expect:
- This is a CRUCIAL hire for the business. You’ll join a growing team of engineers to design novel process systems for carbon capture, hydrogen purification and also hydrogen storage.
- Work with the new CTO and Lead Process Engineer to integrate novel porous materials into a gas storage solution. The business is building a brand new manufacturing plant!
Based on the Cambridge Science Park with hybrid and flexible working, you will benefit from a competitive salary, 4x salary life assurance, personal medical insurance, 25 days holiday a year (plus bank hols) and 4 weeks paid sick leave.
The company are looking for someone with the following skills:
- Minimum 5 years of process design and engineering experience – minimum BEng (Hons) Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering or equivalent qualifications
- Demonstrated experience in process modelling and optimisation, or computational fluid dynamics (CFD)

- Solid foundation in transport phenomena and fluid flow simulation
- Customer focussed, team player, influencer, excellent communicator, decision-maker!
In comparison to other Systems Engineering opportunities I am working at the moment, this is by far the most lucrative – not many businesses are so well-funded and can offer the opportunity to work on a pilot facility build up from scratch!
