Engineer (m/f/d) for laboratory and technical infrastructure planning

For climate and environmental protection, we at ZBT develop the future technologies of the energy transition from the initial idea to series production! With around 180 employees, the ZBT is one of the largest independent institutes in the field of hydrogen and fuel cell technology in Germany.

As part of the nationwide location competition for the Innovation and Technology Center for Hydrogen Technologies (ITZ), the ZBT was selected by the Federal Ministry of Transport as the main sponsor of the ITZ West sub-center. At the new location in Duisburg-Wedau, a modern research center with large test benches, laboratories and test areas for high-performance hydrogen systems is being built. We are setting up an interdisciplinary team consisting of project management, construction planning and technical infrastructure planning to plan and implement this infrastructure.
