The Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has expanded its Smart Systems and Heat (SSH) engineering team with the recruitment of six specialists.
The ETI Smart Systems and Heat technology programme is focused on delivering efficient heat and comfort to meet local requirements across the UK.
Grant Bourhill, Director for the Smart Systems and Heat technology programme, said: “I am delighted to welcome these new colleagues to the ETI and the programme. Their collective wide and diverse experience in large, commercial engineering projects will be of real benefit to us as our programme develops and we move through the design methodology phase into a demonstration of smart system and heat technology in the UK.”
Masayuki Tanji has joined the ETI as a System Architect on secondment from Hitachi. Hitachi has joined the ETI as programme associate on this technology programme bringing their leading expertise in smart systems design, integration and execution to the ETI and the UK. He will work on the analysis and development of tools, technologies and design concepts for the development of local energy service delivery across the UK. He has had a variety of senior engineering and business roles in Hitachi Group in the area of industrial ICT systems.
Also on secondment from Hitachi, Akira Kobayashi has joined as ICT Manager. His role will focus on the information architecture and technology platform selection required to deliver smart systems that are optimised for particular UK locations.
Marc Brown has joined as the programme’s Supply Chain Manager. He brings over 15 years experience working in senior procurement and supply chain roles with Carillion Construction and National Grid. As Supply Chain Manager he will have responsibility for establishing a strategy for developing and validating parts of the required UK smart systems supply chain capability.
John Batterbee takes up the position of Tools & Technologies Manager. He will be responsible for the design and development of the physical smart systems and heat assets. John moves from his role as the ETI’s Strategy Manager for Vehicle Integration.
Matthew Lipson has joined as Head of Consumer Insight from the Department of Energy & Climate Change (DECC). He previously worked for the Committee on Climate Change, which he joined after an industrial career helping blue-chip companies design products to meet customers’ needs. In this role he will focus on ensuring that the ETI’s smart energy systems are designed around end consumers’ needs.
Finally, Forbes Morgan has joined the ETI in the role of Design Authority following a distinguished career as a senior engineer with the Royal Navy. His job is to ensure deliverability of the smart systems and heat design, both for the planned demonstration phase and for future commercial exploitation.
