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.

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
