H-Power is a UK-based, AIM-listed clean energy company developing hydrogen power systems.
Combining ammonia-to-hydrogen technology with hydrogen fuel cells, the business is developing practical alternatives to fossil-fuel-powered generators for construction, infrastructure and off-grid applications.
As H-Power continues to develop and commercialise its technology, we're looking for a Senior Electrical & Controls Engineer to join the engineering team in Dunsfold.
This is a hands-on design role, working across hydrogen generation, fuel cell and integrated power systems, from initial requirements and electrical architecture through detailed design, build, testing and commissioning.
We're keen to speak with engineers from industrial automation, special-purpose machinery, process equipment, power generation and other environments involving complex electrical and control systems.
What you'll be doing:
- Taking ownership of electrical design activities across new and existing products.
- Developing electrical architectures, single-line diagrams, schematics, wiring diagrams and detailed control-panel designs.
- Producing manufacturing documentation, including panel layouts, cable schedules, terminal schedules and component specifications.
- Selecting electrical equipment, protection devices, instrumentation and control-system hardware.
- Designing electrical systems for hazardous-area applications, including appropriate ATEX equipment selection.
- Working closely with mechanical, process, controls and test engineers throughout product development.
- Supporting panel build, system integration, FAT, testing, commissioning and fault-finding.
- Preparing design specifications, requirements and compliance documentation.
- Supporting CE/UKCA certification and relevant safety reviews, including HAZID/HAZOP, FMEA, SIL and LOPA.
- Providing technical guidance and support to junior engineers.
We’re interested in engineers who enjoy being involved in the detail of the design, rather than solely managing projects or reviewing work produced by others.
Ideally, you’ll bring:
- A degree or relevant qualification in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Hands‑on experience designing electrical and control systems for industrial machinery, packaged equipment or process applications.
- Experience personally producing electrical schematics, control‑panel layouts, wiring diagrams and associated manufacturing documentation.
- Knowledge of LV electrical distribution, protection, cable sizing and component selection.
- Working knowledge of BS7671 and EN 60204.
- Experience using electrical CAD software such as EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical or SolidWorks Electrical.
- Experience selecting and configuring PLC hardware, ideally Siemens.
- Practical involvement in equipment build, testing, commissioning or troubleshooting.
Experience designing electrical equipment for ATEX/hazardous-area applications would be particularly valuable.
Exposure to functional safety, EN 61511, HAZOP/LOPA and CE/UKCA certification would also be beneficial.
You don't need to have worked in hydrogen or fuel cells previously. We're equally interested in engineers with transferable experience from industrial automation, machinery, energy, gas systems and process equipment.
H-Power has appointed Cranleigh STEM as its exclusive recruitment partner.
