About the placement

This internship is with EM Energy and is facilitated by the CSIRO’s Generation STEM Links program.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a pioneering start-up that is turning waste into hydrogen without using heat, power, or bacteria. You will be part of a dynamic, early-stage company adapting to evolving industry demands.

In this hands-on role, your responsibilities will vary day-to-day. You’ll set up laboratory spaces and test rigs, run experiments, take measurements, and document results, giving you broad exposure to research and start-up environments.

Work arrangements

  • Start date: Flexible Start date
  • Working arrangement: Part-time (2-3 days per week) for 200 hours on a fixed term contract, with the possibility for further employment for the right candidate. The role includes a shutdown period over Christmas from early December to January.
  • Remuneration: $25/hour plus super on a temporary contract with EM Energy
  • Location: Mayfield North, NSW (Newcastle)

Desired capabilities

  • Studying an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Sustainable Engineering, Industrial Chemistry or other related discipline
  • Experience running experiments within a lab environment, especially using wet chemistry and lab instrumentation would be desirable
  • Strong attention to detail, with the ability to document experimental results clearly.
  • An interest in sustainable energy and green technologies.

Requirements

  • Must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
  • Must be in your penultimate or final year of an undergraduate or TAFE qualification.

About the Industry Partner

EM Energy powers the world with nature by turning waste into hydrogen without any heat, power or bacteria. Our patent pending technology uses organic chemistry to instantaneously produce hydrogen from waste biomass, including waste coal and lignite, without any greenhouse gases.

Led by seasoned entrepreneurs with a track record of building, scaling and exiting startups in the clean energy space, EM Energy is on a mission to power a global low- carbon emission economy using abundant and non-toxic organic materials, unlocking the potential of decarbonising industries and cities with green hydrogen production on demand.
