Green Hydrogen - Project Manager

About Envision GroupEnvision Group is a global Greentech company operating across Europe, North America, and Asia. Guided by our mission to “solve challenges for a sustainable future,” we design, sell, and operate smart wind turbines while advancing green chemicals to reduce the global carbon footprint. We are committed to wind and solar power, electric batteries, and Green Hydrogen – with the goal of building a zero-carbon world.Green Hydrogen is central to our net-zero strategy. Where conventional hydrogen production generates significant CO₂ emissions, our technologies use renewable energy and water to produce hydrogen emission-free. We are dedicated to improving efficiency, reducing costs, and scaling manufacturing to meet growing global demand.The RoleWe are seeking a Project Manager with strong project management experience and hands-on expertise in water electrolyzers, fuel cells, and other relevant electrochemical technologies to join the H2 Center of Excellence (COE) in Burlington, MA. In this role, you will own the planning, execution, and delivery of hydrogen technology innovation projects and actually participate in our electrolyzer product development, spanning materials research, system integration, and pilot-scale demonstrations. You will be engaged in materials processing, stacking engineering, procurement, prototyping, and manufacturing management disciplines, and serve as the primary bridge between our U.S. and Asia teams.You will work closely with a cross-functional team of engineers, scientists, and global operations partners to bring green hydrogen and other sustainability technologies from concept to commercial scale.Key Responsibilities1.
