About the Role

novoMOF is hiring an Adsorption Technician to support the experimental validation of advanced MOF-based separation processes. This role is central to our R&D and product development efforts, with a focus on designing, building, and operating custom adsorption rigs, conducting breakthrough experiments, and evaluating material performance under realistic industrial conditions — including high pressure and humid environments.

The successful candidate will work closely with our materials and modelling teams to generate high-quality experimental data and contribute to the development of cutting-edge carbon capture systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Operate experimental rigs for gas adsorption and separation studies.
• Perform dynamic breakthrough experiments.
• Conduct long-term cycling tests (adsorption/desorption) to evaluate MOF material stability and performance.
• Collaborate with process modellers to correlate experimental data with simulation results.
• Ensure accurate data recording, analysis, and documentation in line with internal QA procedures.
• Support installation, calibration, and maintenance of lab-scale adsorption equipment.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of experimental protocols and safety procedures.

Key Skills & Experience

• Technical degree or professional certification in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or related field.
• Hands-on experience in gas adsorption systems or process development laboratories.
• Familiarity with vacuum systems, pressure regulation, flow controllers, and gas analysis equipment.
• Proven ability to design and operate lab-scale experimental setups.
• Strong analytical mindset with a commitment to safety and precision.
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, cross-functional R&D environment.
• Comfortable working with hazardous gases and managing experimental risk.
