An innovative opportunity in sustainable engineering

Join one of the largest independent companies to develop and test pumps in the UK in a 24 -month exciting project that develops a fish -friendly pump technology. Pumpflow Limited specializes in the design, design and test of detailed engineering pumps in a wide range of sectors. This knowledge transfer partnership (KTP) between Hall and Flottek University provides the unique opportunity to fill the gap between academic research and industrial environmental engineering applications.

Role

It will lead innovative research that combines biological, environmental and engineering sciences to revolutionize fish friendly pump technology. By working with both academic experts from the International Fish Fisheries Institute at the University of Hull, it will work in a test facility on the latest model to develop the next generation (NGP) pump that protects and maintains endangered fish population throughout our ecosystems.

Main responsibilities

As a KTP participant, it will help in designing and developing NGP by using hydrological sensors and high -speed video imaging to understand pump reactions. Consequently, your role will include the management of complex data analysis and work with living animals using the UK’s home office methodologies and the organizational standards for industry to achieve the highest levels of scientific requirements. During the project, you will work closely with the PumpFlow engineering team by providing research results that translate into practical solutions.

Required skills:

• The degree of honor is of the highest or higher degree (masters/doctorate) in a relevant topic, for example, engineering, naval, freshwater, or zoology biology
• Strong skills in dealing with and analyzing data and preferably technical data experience (for example, sensing)
• Experiment to conduct scientific experiments with live animals (preferably fish, not necessary)
• Excellent skills to solve problems and a mental directed towards details
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work cooperatively in a multidisciplinary environment

Desired skills:

• The experience of working in an industrial environment and problem solving in an engineering context or a direct experience to work in the RD & I.
• Experience in project management
• Data analysis in R or Python
• UK driving license
• Video shooting and photography

What we offer

KTP is part of a government -backed national initiative, which provides graduates with fast -track professional opportunities by working on difficult technology and information technology projects. For the right filter, there are excellent prospects for permanent work with pump flows at the end of the KTP project.

Its headquarters is located in the Manchester’s Manchester facility in Pumpflow, with a regular interaction with the Hull University team, and the KTP project will be fully defended by industry and academics experts. You will be supported to continue personal and vocational development throughout the project, and acquire new convertible skills that enhance your employment.

• Salary: 35,608 pounds annually
• 4000 pounds sterling the development and personal training budget
