ECI Technician

This role sits within a fast-growing organisation working at the forefront of green hydrogen and clean energy infrastructure in the UK. The company is focused on helping organisations decarbonise their heat, power, and mobility through the deployment of innovative hydrogen technologies.

As part of a mission-driven and collaborative team, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to projects that support the UK's transition to a low-carbon energy future.

We're looking for a Junior ECI Technician who is eager to learn, grow, and support the safe and reliable operation of a hydrogen production facility in Baglan. This position would suit someone with a strong electrical and instrumentation foundation and some hands on experience in an industrial or production environment, perhaps from a technician or field engineering background, who wants to develop their skills within the rapidly growing clean energy sector.

No prior hydrogen experience is required. What's most important is enthusiasm, curiosity, and a willingness to learn.

You'll receive structured training, mentoring, and hands on exposure to develop your skills and build expertise in hydrogen production technologies, working alongside experienced engineers and technicians.
