Electrochemist Lab Technician

The Role

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.

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.

• 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

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
