Job Description:
Infinium Holdings, IncElectrochemical Operating Engineer
Infinium is an innovation-driven producer and deployer of
electrofuels that seeks a skilled resource to safely and
effectively implement electrolysis technologies and operations in
close integration with its fuels manufacturing activities. The role
of Electrochemical Operating Engineer has been created, and is now
being actively sourced, to fill this critical need.The ideal
candidate for this role will have earned at least a Bachelor's
Degree in one of the following disciplines: Electrochemical
Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Inorganic Chemistry, Physical
Chemistry, Materials Science, Materials Engineering, or Electrical
Engineering. (S)he will have at least 5 years' direct experience in
commercial operations of electrolysis and/or electrochemical
systems, including both operations and engineering elements. An
understanding and track record of process and operational safety is
required.Specific Responsibilities include:
- Oversight of occupational/ operational safety of Infinium
electrolysis and electrochemical systems - establishing
communications and education to ensure safety awareness among all
plant and technology employees and visitors - compliant with all
pertinent legal requirements, site policies, company guidelines,
and company safety culture
- Providing expertise to the Technology and Engineering teams to
help inform the selection and purchase of electrolysis systems and
their ancillary subsystems
- Synthesis of: Safe Operating Procedures; Startup, shutdown, and
emergency procedures; incorporation of all operating procedures
into plant and site operations standards and documentation
- Establishing specifications and critical quality assessment and
control principles for successful operation of the electrolysis
units and the associated feeds and utilities feeding the unit
- Establishment of protocols and practices regarding preventative
and (anticipated) corrective maintenance requirements -
incorporating vendor recommendations, site guidelines, and relevant
professional experience into the synthesis of maintenance
procedures; documenting the recurring requirements and tracking
their successful implementation
- Establishing and maintaining deep understanding of applied
electrochemical fundamentals - honed through a combination of
theoretical understanding, operating practice, and practical
experience. The focal point of this requirement will be
establishment and implementation of a full operating curve
(throughput-current density-efficiency) performance
characterization.
- Providing systems expertise and operational oversight of
ancillary subsytems associated with electrochemistry equipment:
water conditioning, electrical conditioning/ filtering, etc.
- Ongoing interpretation of operating data in light of this
performance mapping - and leading the assessment of cause/effect
regarding deviations from the intended operating point(s) - as well
as the longer-term health of the equipment and its components
- Along with Operations and Engineering teams, engage with
vendors to problem shoot and to optimize operation of the
units
- Keeping apprised of advances in the field - both associated
with the devices that have been assimilated into Infinium
operations and others (emerging) that might be competitive in
future installations. Ongoing recommendations will be expected by
both the Technology and Operations teams for potential improvements
in either dimension of these assets.
- Deriving and implementing heat and mass balance analytics and
accounting associated with electrolysis operations - helping track
and fully interpret operating efficiencies. These analytics will
also be distilled into routine protocols for tracking and logging
key operating parameters.Competitive benefits and pay
