The Company

Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. (http://www.ah2inc.com) is a privately owned environmental technology company producing energy and environmental solutions.  Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. (AHI) has developed a unique, low temperature technology - CarbonSaver™ - that dissociates natural gas to form gaseous hydrogen and solid carbon without generating carbon dioxide. 

This is a revolutionary technology that promotes Greenhouse Gas reduction and the fight against man-made climate change since it produces hydrogen without generating massive amounts of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, as do most industrial hydrogen production processes.  It represents a potential for the next generation of clean energy. 

AHI has a seasoned senior management team that includes the former CEO and President of Unisys Canada and a highly experienced research team with a proven track record in plasma processing and separation of gases.

The Opportunity

You will work closely with our team of researchers and engineers providing day-to-day analytical operations and support for our laboratory and pilot scale chemical reactor systems producing hydrogen and carbon from natural gas.  A key area of responsibility will be the development of accurate and reliable methods for GC/MS analyses of hydrocarbon/hydrogen gas mixtures and for chemiluminescence analyses of hydrocarbon combustion exhaust gases containing CO2, NOx and SOx.

You will also maintain all of the analytical instruments in our laboratory and carry out day-to-day maintenance and operation of bench and pilot scale plasma reactor systems for natural gas pyrolysis.

The Requirements

Our ideal candidate has completed a bachelor's degree in chemistry or a chemical technology diploma program and has extensive laboratory experience specializing in instrumental chemical analytical techniques and methods development.  In addition, you have a working knowledge of GC/MS, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, chemiluminescence and other instrumental methods for chemical analysis, as well as experience with gas handling and flow control equipment.  You also have strong report writing skills.  Hands on experience with pilot scale operations and electronic equipment and components, as well as the ability to trouble-shoot electronic equipment is a definite asset. 

The Rewards

Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. is committed to providing its' employees with a good home/work life balance, a very good salary and benefits package including performance bonuses and stock options, and a flexible, collaborative team environment with a group of dedicated and talented individuals committed to the success of the CarbonSaver™ technology.
