Capturing methane, generating value, protecting the climate
About Bluemethane
Bluemethane’s mission is to prevent a billion tonnes of methane emissions from water. Our technology measures and captures dissolved methane and prevents methane emissions—turning a harmful greenhouse gas into a clean‑energy opportunity.
Role Summary
You will design, build, and execute laboratory and pilot‑scale experiments focused on methane extraction from water and wastewater. The role involves instrumenting test rigs, running experiments, reporting data, troubleshooting inconsistencies, and translating experimental findings into engineering improvements.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, procure, and build experimental rigs from scratch, and carry out laboratory experiments evaluating fluid flow, mass transfer, and separation efficiency.
- Develop experimental protocols and test plans aligned with development milestones.
- Instrument experimental rigs and configure data‑acquisition (DAQ) systems.
- Design reporting templates and document experimental results.
- Troubleshoot experimental inconsistencies.
- Summarise findings through daily communications, reports, recommendations, and presentations.
- Collaborate closely with engineers to improve separation and measurement systems.
Qualifications & Experience
- BSc in Chemical, Process, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline. MSc/MEng/PhD in Chemical or Mechanical Engineering is desirable.
- Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, mass transfer, and separation processes.
- At least 3 years of experience designing and executing experiments, including instrumentation and DAQ systems.
- Competent in basic data analysis. Excel is mandatory; experience with a programming language is a plus.
- Hands‑on experience building, operating, and maintaining laboratory setups, sensors, pumps, and test rigs.
Working Mode
- On‑site at Cranfield University, UK.
- Expected travel of up to 30% for field tests and sampling.
- Hands‑on work with wastewater and sludge treatment processes.
