Full job description

Background:
Byohm, the trading name for Wastewater Fuels Ltd, is a UK-based clean technology company pioneering next-generation wastewater treatment and renewable energy systems. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Coventry, West Midlands, we develop bio-electrochemical systems (BES) that convert wastewater into treated water and renewable fuels.

Driven by a mission to revolutionise wastewater treatment through low-energy, sustainable technologies, we aim to recover energy and protect natural resources. Our vision is to create a world where every drop of wastewater and organic waste contributes to a circular, decarbonised economy — transforming what was once waste into a valuable source of clean energy and environmental resilience.

Job Overview:

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Chemist to work on the development, optimisation, and scale-up of Microbial Fuel Cells for wastewater treatment and Microbial Electrochemical Cell – Anaerobic Digestion systems (MEC-AD).

The successful applicant will contribute to the research, design, build, testing, and engineering optimisation of bio-electrochemical systems for wastewater treatment.

This role is suited to a candidate with a Masters in Chemistry. Essential skills include: electrochemistry, bio-electrochemical systems and catalysis with an interest in developing scalable technologies for renewable energy, waste treatment, and resource recovery.

Key Responsibilities include:

Work on the research and development of bio-electrochemical systems from laboratory scale through to pilot and scale-up stages.
Designing, building, testing, and optimising microbial electrochemical systems.
Work on process design, reactor configuration, materials selection, and system integration.
Analysing system performance, including biogas production, methane yield, COD removal, volatile fatty acids, pH, alkalinity, nutrient balance, and electrochemical performance.
Developing experimental plans, operating procedures, and technical reports.
Identifying opportunities to improve system efficiency, stability, and commercial viability.
Working with multidisciplinary teams, including chemical engineers, microbiologists, electrochemists, and mechanical engineers.
Reviewing scientific literature and applying current research findings to system design and optimisation.
Communication of project progress with internal and external stakeholders.
Supporting grant applications, technical proposals, presentations, and publications where required.

Essential Requirements:

Be be considered for the role Applicants must have:

A Master’s degree in Chemistry or a closely related discipline.
Knowledge of bio-electrochemical systems.
Knowledge of electrochemistry, including electrode materials, cell design, voltage/current measurement, cyclic voltammetry, impedance analysis, or electrochemical reactor performance.
Full UK driving licence.

Desirable Skills and Experience:

The following skills would be advantageous:

Experience designing, operating, or analysing laboratory-scale or pilot-scale bioreactors.
Understanding of industrial waste treatment.
Understanding of microbiology, particularly methanogens, biofilms and syntrophic interactions.
Knowledge of renewable energy systems, wastewater treatment, organic waste treatment, or circular economy technologies.
Experience with gas analysis, chromatography, spectrophotometry, electrochemical testing, or biochemical methane potential testing.
Experience preparing academic publications, technical reports, grant proposals, or patent-supporting documentation.

Personal Attributes:

We are looking for someone who is:

Curious, research-driven, and technically rigorous.
Comfortable with a hands-on approach to working on emerging technologies with evolving design requirements.
Able to work individually and as part of a team.
Able to translate laboratory findings into practical engineering improvements.
Organised and capable of managing experimental work, data, and documentation.
Collaborative, proactive, and willing to contribute new ideas across disciplines.
