OSCABE’s mission is to prevent a billion tonnes of methane emissions from water. Our technology measures and captures dissolved methane and prevents methane emissions—turning a harmful greenhouse gas into a clean-energy opportunity.
Role Summary
You will design, build, and execute laboratory and pilot-scale experiments focused on methane extraction from water and wastewater. The role involves instrumenting test rigs, running experiments, reporting data, troubleshooting inconsistencies, and translating experimental findings into engineering improvements.
Requirements
* Design, procure, and build experimental rigs from scratch, and carry out laboratory experiments evaluating fluid flow, mass transfer, and separation efficiency.
* Develop experimental protocols and test plans aligned with development milestones.
* Instrument experimental rigs and configure data-acquisition (DAQ) systems.
* Design reporting templates and document experimental results.
* Troubleshoot experimental inconsistencies.
* Summarise findings through daily communications, reports, recommendations, and presentations.
* Collaborate closely with engineers to improve separation and measurement systems.
Qualifications & Experience
* BSc in Chemical, Process, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline. MSc / MEng / PhD in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering is desirable.
* Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, mass transfer, and separation processes.
* At least 3 years of experience designing and executing experiments, including instrumentation and DAQ systems.
* Competent in basic data analysis. Excel is mandatory; experience with a programming language is a plus.
* Hands-on experience building, operating, and maintaining laboratory setups, sensors, pumps, and test rigs.
Working Mode
* On-site at Cranfield University, UK.
* Expected travel of up to 30% for field tests and sampling.
* Hands-on work with wastewater and sludge treatment processes.
Job Type: Full-time
Pay: £32,000.00–£36,000.00 per year
Ability to Commute/Relocate
* Cranfield MK43: reliably commute or plan to relocate before starting work (preferred)
Experience
* Designing and executing experiments: 3 years (required)
Work Location: In person
