More about the client:

Strategic advisors in global wind energy
The demand for energy in the emerging economies is expected to double by 2030, fuelled by economic growth in China and India. Existing sources of energy supply are becoming depleted, and are insufficient to meet these countries’ growth in demand, resulting in large increases in imports, in competition with North America and Europe. Moreover, the price of conventional energy sources is escalating, thus jeopardising the security of the energy supply in net importing countries.
Wind energy is ideally positioned to lead the charge towards the target of sourcing a higher percentage of energy needs from renewables. Wind power not only has the potential to satisfy the increasing energy demand, it is also a significant and vital stimulus for local economies.
With the new generation of MW wind turbines and offshore power plants, and ever-changing legislation in the various countries around the world, executives face an overwhelming volume of relevant data that they must deal with and apply astutely if they are to implement successful strategies within the renewable energy sector.
With extensive experience from the wind industry, our team has the detailed insight and market intelligence sourced from our international network guaranteed to provide your company with high quality strategic advice.
Key areas of expertise:
• Market assessment
• Supply chain dynamics
• M&A – DD and advisory
• Project development
• Project implementation
• Operation, maintenance and service (OMS)
Market assessment

Our clients demand information about specific markets or regions in order to make qualified strategic decisions. The consultancy constantly monitors the global wind market, enabling us to provide our clients with market forecasts, an analysis of the legal and political frameworks in the various countries (and the implications thereof), the opportunities and risks involved, the competitive dynamics and landscape facing players, business modelling and entry/exit strategies.
Supply chain dynamics
Decisions about where to source supplies are complicated by transient local factors, amongst other things. We can facilitate such decisions with relevant recommendations concerning production footprints, procurement strategies, value chain positioning, business modelling and capacity forecasts by reviewing the sourcing opportunities, mapping the suppliers and the competitive landscape and conducting make/buy analyses.
M&A – DD and advisory
M&A can be a complex issue, requiring in-depth research into the target company’s background and potential. We are an independent, unbiased partner you need to screen investment opportunities, conduct target analyses, perform due diligence studies and be your exclusive advisor with regards to the competitive dynamics and landscape, allowing your organisation to draw well-informed conclusions.
Project development
New projects involve considerable logistical calculations and assessments of the market and legal environments. Our consultants can help with portfolio screening, project valuation, entry strategies and value chain positioning.
Project implementation
Wind projects are becoming larger, more global and more complex. Our clients seek clear, explanatory advice on how to implement their wind projects with regards to organisational development, profit protection tooling and strategic agreement modelling.
Operation, maintenance and service (OMS)
Once a wind project is up and running, a whole new set of challenges arises. We deliver business matrix development, strategic maintenance agreement modelling, benchmarking and entry/exit strategies based on analyses of the legal, political and financial issues, the market situation, risk management and the transmission and storage options. This provides your organisation with an added value proposition, enabling you to achieve your strategic targets and business objectives, and guaranteeing the availability of facilities.

Does the thought of being part of a team developing new energy technologies that will significantly contribute to decreasing greenhouse gases and limiting man-made climate change appeal to you? Do you have a passion for industrial carbon black handling and analysis? Do you have a proven track record with providing experimental support for the collection, purging, densification and granulating of carbon materials? Do you enjoy working in a strong team environment where your efforts are recognized and appreciated and your contributions will make a real difference to the world we live in? If you answered yes to these questions, we would like to hear from you.

THE COMPANY
Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. (http://www.ah2inc.com) is a privately owned environmental technology company producing energy and environmental solutions. Atlantic Hydrogen Inc. (AHI) has developed a patented CarbonSaver™ plasma technology that removes some of the carbon from natural gas pre-combustion. Not only does that reduce carbon dioxide output, the hydrogen freed by the process improves the efficiency of the devices that burn it.

This is a revolutionary technology that promotes Greenhouse Gas reduction and the fight against man-made climate change since it produces hydrogen without generating massive amounts of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, as do most industrial hydrogen production processes. It represents a potential for the next generation of clean energy.

AHI has a seasoned senior management team that includes the former CEO and President of Unisys Canada and a highly experienced research team with a proven track record in plasma processing and separation of gases.

THE OPPORTUNITY
You will work closely with our team of researchers and engineers to provide analytical support for the characterization of carbon black produced in both experimental and pilot scale reactor systems. In addition, you will provide experimental support for the collection, purging, densification and granulating of carbon materials.

THE REQUIREMENTS
Our ideal candidate has completed a B.Sc. or a chemical technologist’s diploma from a recognized institution and has several years of experience in industrial carbon black handling and analysis.

Hands-on experience with pilot scale operations and electronic equipment and components, and the ability to troubleshoot electronic equipment is a definite asset. Experience with surface area, thermogravimetric and other specialty analyses associated with solids characterization is also a definite plus.

THE REWARDS
