Job description
The University of South Wales (USW), working with ELITE FLOW CONTROL UK LIMITED, is recruiting an Senior Research Assistant for an Innovate UK Accelerated Knowledge Transfer Partnership (AKT6). The project will help the company develop an early-stage engineering decision framework for a dry-type liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) vaporizer concept.
Based primarily with ELITE FLOW CONTROL UK LIMITED in Stoke-on-Trent, with academic support from USW in Pontypridd and appropriate hybrid working arrangements subject to agreement, the postholder will apply engineering analysis and control-system knowledge to a focused industrial challenge.
The postholder will examine variable propane/butane blends and representative demand scenarios, assess heating requirements and control response, and turn their findings into a practical framework that can be used by the company. We are seeking a methodical, commercially aware engineer who can communicate technical work clearly and collaborate with industry and academic colleagues.
This is a full-time (1.0 FTE), fixed-term position.
For an informal discussion please contact Dr Hammad Nazir, Knowledge Base Supervisor, hammad.nazir@southwales.ac.uk.
If you are a successful candidate and this position will be your first professional services role at the University (or you are currently employed by PSS Ltd), you will be employed by Professional and Support Services Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of South Wales, which provides services to the University and Colleges.
