About Envision Group
Envision Group is a global Greentech company operating across Europe, North America, and Asia. Guided by our mission to “solve challenges for a sustainable future,” we design, sell, and operate smart wind turbines while advancing green chemicals to reduce the global carbon footprint. We are committed to wind and solar power, electric batteries, and Green Hydrogen – with the goal of building a zero-carbon world.
Green Hydrogen is central to our net-zero strategy. Where conventional hydrogen production generates significant CO₂ emissions, our technologies use renewable energy and water to produce hydrogen emission-free. We are dedicated to improving efficiency, reducing costs, and scaling manufacturing to meet growing global demand.
The Role
We are seeking a Project Manager with strong project management experience and hands-on expertise in water electrolyzers, fuel cells, and other relevant electrochemical technologies to join the H2 Center of Excellence (COE) in Burlington, MA. In this role, you will own the planning, execution, and delivery of hydrogen technology innovation projects and actually participate in our electrolyzer product development, spanning materials research, system integration, and pilot-scale demonstrations. You will be engaged in materials processing, stacking engineering, procurement, prototyping, and manufacturing management disciplines, and serve as the primary bridge between our U.S. and Asia teams.
You will work closely with a cross-functional team of engineers, scientists, and global operations partners to bring green hydrogen and other sustainability technologies from concept to commercial scale.
Key Responsibilities
1. Project Planning & Execution
- Develop detailed project plans, schedules, milestones, and resource allocations for R&D initiatives.
- Define project scope with technical leads and ensure alignment with the product roadmap and strategic goals.
- Manage project risk logs, mitigation plans, and contingency scenarios.

- Lead problem-solving sessions and root-cause analyses when technical challenges arise.
- Support definition and execution of Engineering Validation Testing (EVT), Design Verification Testing (DVT), and pilot deployment testing for electrolyzers and hydrogen systems.
- Ensure IP documentation, data-sharing protocols, and design records are maintained in accordance with company policy.
3. Cross-Functional Coordination
- Facilitate collaboration across mechanical, chemical, electrical, controls, and materials engineering teams.
- Coordinate with Product Management to align R&D outputs with customer requirements and commercialization timelines.
- Partner with Procurement and Supply Chain to secure specialized equipment, components, and lab materials.
- Serve as the primary liaison between U.S. and China engineering teams, ensuring clear, timely, and culturally informed communication.
5. Budget & Reporting
- Prepare and manage project budgets, forecasts, and procurement plans.
- Track R&D spending, material consumption, prototype costs, and vendor expenses.
- Present regular status updates, KPI dashboards, and risk assessments to senior leadership.
- Support government grant or program reporting where applicable (e.g., DOE, ARPA-E).
6. International & Supplier Collaboration
- Manage timelines and deliverables from external partners, testing labs, research institutions, and component suppliers.
- Coordinate logistics for prototype manufacturing, shipment, installation, and field testing.
- Ensure documentation, IP, and data-sharing protocols are followed across all external partnerships.
7. Documentation & Continuous Improvement
- Maintain structured project documentation aligned with engineering quality systems.
- Support development of standard procedures, design records, BOMs, test reports, and lessons learned.
- Drive continuous improvement in R&D project execution through retrospective reviews and process refinement.
