TV SD National Engineering Laboratory, a division of TV SD Ltd, is an international provider of technical consultancy, R&D, testing and measurement services with an excellent reputation built up over 50 years.
Having been working in hydrogen flow measurement for over 4 years now as part of the NMS, demand for our services and our team continues to grow, with work covering design and build of facilities, R&D and consultancy. Furthermore, in 2023 we will be launching a range of more general TIC services related to the hydrogen sector including electrolyser certification, power-to-X, process safety and HRS auditing.

The testing, inspection and certification services for the hydrogen sector will involve building and running a team of engineers who will do both desk-based assessments and on-site inspections and audits.
The role can be primarily home or office based, or with a hybrid working pattern, but will require periodic attendance at our East Kilbride facilities and travel for business to visit customers and events (total travel time <30%). The candidate must have the ability to work in the UK.
