Senior Principal Electrical Engineer (Open)

Building on our established position in Europe as a leading industrial gas owner/operator company, Air Products is opening a new Project Delivery Hub in the Rotterdam/Hague area in order to support our ambitious growth plans. From here, our people will drive forward and continue to successfully develop, execute and operate an ever-increasing project-portfolio in the region as well as the evolving footprint of our Industrial Gas business in EMEA.

At Air Products, we are investing in the production of clean hydrogen fuel for the mobility sector to decarbonize heavy-duty vehicles. We are also the global leader in creating technology solutions for capturing CO₂ from fossil fuel conversion before it reaches the atmosphere. Furthermore, the gases we produce and distribute are helping reduce food waste, are supplied to hospitals and are used in many other markets. In short: you probably use our products every day, you just don’t realise it!

With an 80-year track record and first-mover ambitions, our 19,000 strong team have made us world-leaders in areas such as carbon capture and hydrogen. Our core competency is an ability to develop, execute, own, and operate some of the world’s largest and most complex industrial gas projects, including one of the world’s largest green hydrogen projects: NEOM.

Our people are making a difference to the world every day. Thinking globally and acting locally, every voice is heard, and everyone knows they belong and matter. Our higher purpose is to bring people around the world together, so that they can, in an open environment, collaborate and innovate solutions to some of the most significant energy and environmental challenges we all face.
