About Us

At INEOS Electrochemical Solutions, we research, develop, manufacture and sell world-class electrolysers and electrode coatings that produce green hydrogen or chlor-alkaliderivatives such as chlorine and caustic soda. 

Role Overview 

We offer our own CHLORCOAT™ anode & cathode electrode coatings and module refurbishment service for all designs of electrolyser technology.

The Process/Refurbishment Technician is responsible for carrying out a wide range of refurbishment activities, including: 

• Assessing the extent of damage and determining appropriate repair methods within defined standards 

• Performing precision welding of titanium and nickel components, returning products to an “as new” condition 

• Supporting continuous improvement of refurbishment standards and techniques 

The products handled are high-value catalytic-coated anodes and cathode structures used in high-hazard chemical processes. The role has a direct impact on the safety and quality of our product, which has a global customer base. 

This is a day-based role within a 24/7 operational environment. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Strict adherence to SHE policies, standards and procedures 

• Detailed inspection and evaluation of products to define repair scope 

• Preparation of components for welding, including recovery and preparation of replacement parts 

• Completion of fine, intricate welding activities (often working with sections as small as 1mm² cross-section) 

• Maintaining accurate records to support refurbishment costing and customer invoicing 

• Contributing to the development of new refurbishment techniques and standards 

Additional Duties

The role may also include supporting other process operations within the Electrochemical Technology Business, such as: 

• Operation of electrostatic spray and bake coating lines 

• Running hydride stripping processes 

• Supporting activities including grit blasting, etching, assembly/disassembly, and quality control 

From time to time, the job holder may be required to work across other site facilities at the Runcorn location. 

Skills and Attributes 

• Strong commitment to safety and quality standards 

• Experience or capability in precision TIG welding (titanium/nickel desirable) such as pressure vessels. 

• Able to carry out Non-Destructive Testing of repairs such as die penetrant testing and inspection. 

• Able to work to defined quality and engineering standards and use sound judgement in assessment of repairs required. 

• Able to operate powered hand tools, powered cranes and automated machinery. 

• FLT licence or capable of being trained to operate FLT 

• High level of manual dexterity and attention to detail 

• Flexible and collaborative approach to working across multiple processes
