ITM Power is at the forefront of the green hydrogen industry, designing and manufacturing PEM electrolysers that contribute to decarbonisation. With over two decades of scientific expertise, we are a leader in clean energy technology.
Our journey: founded in 2000, listed on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange. Headquartered in the UK, our manufacturing facility is a large-scale PEM facility with R&D and manufacturing, and ITM Power Germany serves as our EU hub for regional functions and aftersales services.
Innovation and impact: our PEM electrolysers are deployed in some of the world’s largest green hydrogen projects, driving cost-effectiveness and sustainability. We are focused on streamlined delivery and operational excellence as we grow.
What we are looking for
We have an opportunity for a Senior Process and Systems Engineer. The role involves solving complex problems using discipline-specific knowledge to improve ITM products. Responsibilities include conducting process studies to optimise electrolyser process design configurations, flare, relief, blowdown/depressurizing, vent system design, and utility system sizing. You will participate in safety reviews, including HAZOP/HAZID studies and process safety assessments. You will lead work on small to medium projects and should be well-versed in chemical process plant industry-standard design codes.
Responsibilities
* Process modelling, develop heat and material balances, utility balances, and PFDs for the total plant using Hysys/Unisim.
* Develop P&IDs and equipment specifications.
* Perform process equipment sizing, hydraulic and heat exchanger design, and pressure relief calculations.
* Evaluate and optimise process design alternatives for safety, efficiency and regulatory adherence.
* Collaborate with other disciplines to integrate process design with mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation designs.
* Provide information across proposal, engineering and construction phases for process and systems engineering.
* Create and review pressure and explosive atmospheres safety cases.
* Participate in design safety studies such as HAZOP and LOPA.
* Create and review operations/maintenance manuals and FAT procedures.
* Participate in project meetings and technical discussions with clients and stakeholders.
* Assist in plant start-up activities and direct performance testing and deliverable reporting as required.
About You
