About Kerionics

At Kerionics, we turn science into impact. Born from the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ-UPV) and CSIC, we develop high-temperature electrolyzers based on Solid Oxide Electrolysis (SOEL) — the most efficient technology to produce green hydrogen. With over a decade of research in advanced ceramic materials, we’re now scaling this breakthrough to help decarbonize energy-intensive industries where fossil fuel replacement remains a major challenge. We are launching a strategic project to build an automated production plant in the Valencia region , supported by a €12.8M public grant, within a total investment of €38M. This facility will be a cornerstone of our industrial scale-up and innovation roadmap. The Start of Production (SOP) is planned for 2028, with project completion by June 2029.

Who Are We

We’re a growing multicultural team of 25+ people, united by the same purpose : building a cleaner future through technological innovation. You’ll find us testing cells in the lab, running pilot stacks, or putting our electrolyzers systems through rigorous tests to make sure every membrane delivers its best. We’re a small, passionate team with big industrial ambitions — engineers, scientists and builders from around the world working side by side.

What Are We Looking For

We’re building our first industrial plant — and we’re looking for someone who will make it happen. As Industrial Project Manager, you’ll lead the design, construction and commissioning of an automated facility and machinery that will mark a turning point in Kerionics’ industrial scale-up. You’ll define technical specifications, select the site, manage suppliers, and ensure flawless execution in terms of safety, cost, timing, and confidentiality.

What Will You Be Doing

Your work will directly shape the backbone of Kerionics’ industrial operations for years to come.
