About the Company

Do you want to work for a company that is playing a leading role in delivering the UK’s transition to net zero?  EET Hydrogen is a leading player in energy transition, and is developing one of the first large scale, low carbon hydrogen production hubs in the world. This will produce (in its initial phases) 1,350MW of hydrogen capacity more than enough to power a city like Liverpool.

Our mission is to be the leading low carbon hydrogen producer in the UK, initially serving industrial and power generation customers.  And we are central to the innovative HyNet Northwest project which is redefining energy to achieve regional low carbon ambitions and national policy targets. 

You will be joining us at a time of rapid growth and can look forward to a rewarding career with opportunities to develop specialist skills and knowledge in this important area of the energy sector.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to influence environmental and sustainability performance at the heart of the UK’s low carbon hydrogen transition. You will be joining a business committed to safety, innovation, and continuous improvement, with scope to grow and develop as our projects evolve from construction to operation.

The Role

We currently have an exciting opportunity for an Assistant Commercial Manager. In this role, you will play a key part in supporting the EET Hydrogen Commercial function to deliver the EETH Strategy. You will act as a central source of insight on developments across the Hydrogen, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Energy markets, monitoring and interpreting policy changes to inform strategic decision‑making. You will also support commercial negotiations and contribute to the drafting of contracts for hydrogen sales, as well as future hydrogen production agreements with the UK Government.

Primary Accountabilities

• Support development of customer and offtake strategies
• Identify and analyse commercial upside opportunities within existing projects to drive value optimisation
• Support drafting and execution of NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and MOU’s (Memorandum of Understanding) with potential partners
• Contribute to the analysis, development and negotiation of EETH commercial contracts, including Hydrogen Offtake Agreements and the Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement with DESNZ (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)
• Support preparation of negotiation materials such as Heads of Terms
• Assist in developing customer relationships and delivering customer‑specific analysis (e.g., hydrogen profile assessments)
• Support key stakeholder engagement, including DESNZ (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero), LCCC (Low Carbon contracts company), the CCS (Carbon Capture and Storagge) Secretariat and Liverpool Bay CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage project)
• Help develop processes to operationalise HPP1 contracts
• Engage with internal and external counterparties on commercial contracts and related activities
• Coordinate negotiation activities to ensure all technical, financial, legal and regulatory considerations are addressed
• Present negotiated terms, implications and recommendations to management for approval
• Ensure effective administration of existing commercial agreements and identify commercial terms for new activities, highlighting key implications
• Maintain dialogue with contracted parties regarding notices, profiles, contract extensions and emerging commercial opportunities
• Liaise with potential business partners to explore mutually beneficial ventures
• Monitor compliance with LCHA (Low Carbon Hydrogen Agreement), CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) Network Code and wider UK sector framework obligations

About You

Our ideal candidate will hold a Degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Mathematics, Engineering or bring equivalent experience. You will have proven experience in a commercial or business development role within an energy company or commercial consultancy, with energy sector knowledge essential and hydrogen experience highly desirable. Strong financial and commercial acumen is required, including experience in market and investment analysis and deal structuring, along with familiarity with UK energy policy, particularly in hydrogen, power, CO₂, regulatory frameworks and market incentives. The role also demands strong strategic thinking and analytical problem‑solving abilities, excellent communication and presentation skills, and proficiency in financial modelling and investment evaluation tools. Experience in stakeholder management, negotiation and managing complex multi‑party projects is important, as is the ability to adapt to evolving market conditions and organisational needs.
