Engineering careers in Hydrogen Technologies

Catalyse the net zero transition

At Johnson Matthey, we have a 206-year history of developing innovative solutions to the most complex technology challenges. Now, we're rising to the most urgent challenge of all - decarbonising our modern way of life and catalysing the net zero transition for our customers and for society.

We can't get to net zero without hydrogen. As the only integrated supplier of fuel cell and electrolyser components with in-house catalyst and membrane technologies and manufacturing, JM is leading the hydrogen space.

Our Hydrogen Technologies engineers are at the heart of this. From developing high-performance fuel cell components that will enable zero emission transport, to scaling up electrolyser technology that will unlock the potential of hydrogen as a sustainable fuel, our engineers are delivering the solutions for a net zero future.

Hydrogen's time is now. Through our leading technology and our long-term customer partnerships, JM is at the forefront of deploying technology at scale to enable the global hydrogen economy, offering you lots of opportunities for career development.

As a Hydrogen Technologies engineer, you will have the chance to challenge, innovate and learn. Working as part of a dynamic team in close collaboration with our scientists and operations teams, you'll bring your ideas to life, all the way from design to implementation.

Whether you're applying your engineering expertise to develop next-generation technology or designing manufacturing processes that consistently deliver high quality products for our customers, you can make an impact.

Explore your possibilities

We have open process and manufacturing engineering roles at a range of grades in our Hydrogen Technologies UK engineering team - whether you're an experienced professional in this technology area, a talented engineer looking to transfer their expertise to an accelerating industry, or a graduate engineer ready to make an impact.
