Applications are invited for a Project Officer role at the Heat Pipe Research Group of Brunel University London. The Project Officer will play a pivotal role in the day-to-day coordination and administrative support of the GeoFlexHeat project, an EU-funded initiative focused on developing flexible and sustainable geothermal heating systems across Europe.

This is a part-time position suited to a proactive and detail-oriented individual with experience in EU project support and an interest in sustainability, energy systems, or applied research.

The successful applicant will be joining the Heat Pipe and Thermal Management Research Group, led by Professor Hussam Jouhara, to provide coordination and administrative support for the GeoFlexHeat project.
