Electrochemist Lab Technician

Job description

TGRC has partnered with a fast-growing clean technology company developing next-generation materials that enable a more sustainable and resilient energy future. The company is pioneering advanced materials that replace expensive and scarce elements with high-performance, earth-abundant alternatives. Their innovations are helping accelerate the global energy transition, with applications across clean energy, industrial manufacturing, and advanced electronics.

The Role

We are seeking a hands-on Electrochemical Lab Technician to support the development of advanced materials and components for electrolysis.

This is a high-impact, practical role in a fast-paced lab environment, offering significant opportunities for learning, contribution, and growth.

Key Responsibilities

  • Operate and maintain electrochemical equipment (potentiostats, electrochemical cells, electrolyser systems)

  • Fabricate catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) and substrates (CCSs) for electrolysers

  • Assemble MEAs and integrate them into electrolysis systems for performance testing

  • Conduct electrochemical tests (e.g. cyclic voltammetry, impedance spectroscopy, chronoamperometry)

  • Design and modify experimental setups for electrolysers, fuel cells, and related systems

  • Formulate catalyst inks and apply coatings using advanced deposition techniques (spray, slot-die, decal transfer)

  • Analyse test data to optimize performance, efficiency, and durability

  • Support the scale-up of electrochemical processes for commercial deployment

  • Maintain a clean and safe laboratory environment, ensuring compliance with safety procedures

  • Track and manage lab inventory and consumables

  • Calibrate, troubleshoot, and maintain lab equipment to ensure reliable results

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams and share results to advance broader R&D goals

About You

You’re a technically minded, detail-oriented individual with a passion for experimental science and clean technology. You thrive in hands-on environments and enjoy turning complex chemistry and engineering challenges into practical solutions.

Essential Skills & Experience

  • MSc in Electrochemistry, Electrochemical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Materials Science (exceptional BSc candidates with strong experience also considered)

  • Hands-on experience in electrochemical testing and lab equipment operation

  • Experience in a mechanical workshop or experimental setup environment

  • Exposure to industrial or pilot-scale systems (highly desirable)

  • Familiarity with coating techniques (spray, slot-die, etc.)

  • Experience working with electrolyser or fuel cell stacks (a plus)

  • Strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative mindset

  • Comfort working in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary startup environment

Why Join

  • Make an impact: Help solve one of the world’s most urgent challenges

  • Be part of something big: Shape technologies that could redefine global industries
