A Contract position Outside IR35

On-site/Hybrid

Our client, a prominent player in the automotive industry, is currently seeking a Hydrogen Fuel System Controls Engineer on a contract basis. This role is pivotal in advancing hydrogen fuel systems for the future of clean automotive technology.

• Deliver hydrogen fuel system and infrastructure components within HMS projects, including system architecture, supplier coordination, and timely delivery.
• Lead system-level engineering and safety analysis for hydrogen fuel systems, ensuring compliance with relevant standards.
• Design and implement PLC-based control systems, including automation logic, safety interlocks, and SCADA/HMI interfaces.
• Develop and operate hydrogen/cryogenic test facilities, executing verification & validation activities and producing supporting documentation.
• Analyse test data, generate reports, and support operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of high-pressure gas and hydrogen systems in hazardous environments.

• Degree, apprenticeship, or equivalent experience in Electrical, Control Systems, Mechanical, Mechatronics, or similar engineering discipline.
• Strong hands-on experience with PLC programming and automation systems (e.g. Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff) and SCADA/HMI tools.
• Proven background in DAQ, instrumentation, and high-pressure/compressed gas systems in hazardous environments.
• Solid understanding of hydrogen systems, gas dynamics, and safety practices, including leak detection and pressure testing. Ideally some knowledge of liquid hydrogen but not essential.
• Experience applying system safety methods (e.g. FMEA, FTA, FHA), with additional exposure to cryogenics, hydrogen propulsion, or modelling tools as an advantage.

• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge hydrogen fuel technology.
• Professional development and training opportunities.
• Supportive and innovative work environment.
