Lead Green Hydrogen Engineer Commissioning & Storage

Role Purpose

Lead commissioning and operational readiness of green hydrogen production and storage systems from pre-commissioning through performance testing and handover.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead commissioning and readiness of hydrogen production, conditioning and storage systems through startup and handover.
• Lead commissioning and startup of PEM and AWE electrolyzers, including first hydrogen production and performance verification.
• Oversee hydrogen purification, drying, compression and storage systems for safe and reliable operation.
• Ensure process safety, HAZOP, ESD, gas detection, instrumentation and control requirements.
• Coordinate hydrogen operations with renewable power, BESS, EMS and hydrogen-to-power systems.
• Lead performance and acceptance testing against capacity, efficiency and reliability requirements.
• Coordinate technical interfaces across hydrogen production, storage, renewable power, BESS, water utilities and hydrogen-to-power systems.
• Manage EPC, OEM and technology-provider technical interfaces, commissioning issues and delivery risks.
• Ensure operational readiness, technical handover, statutory compliance and operating documentation.
• Drive reliability, maintainability, performance improvement and technology optimization.

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Chemical, Mechanical or a related engineering discipline.
• 12-16 years of relevant experience in green hydrogen, electrolyzer, chemical process, energy or large-scale infrastructure projects.
• Hands-on experience with PEM and AWE electrolyzers, balance-of-plant, hydrogen production, purification, drying, compression, high-pressure storage, piping and gas handling.
• Strong knowledge of hydrogen process safety, HAZID/HAZOP, gas detection, ESD and process control systems.
• Experience managing EPC/OEM interfaces, commissioning, performance testing an operational handover.
• Experience integrating hydrogen with renewable power and BESS; hydrogen-to-power experience is advantageous.
• Strong leadership, communication and stakeholder-management capability across EPCs, OEMs and multidisciplinary teams.
