Designing even more efficient and reliable products based on solid R&D capabilities, including the creation of a new company test centre. That is the mission of Rémi, Technical Director at HRS. And he can draw on the experience of an impressive career: A Civil Engineer from the Ecole Nationale des Ponts et Chaussées (Paris civil engineering school), Rémi gained expertise in the development of equipment design methods for offshore oil and gas projects with Technip in Norway. He then acquired solid expertise in hydrogen and refueling stations as Head of Hydrogen Solutions at ENGIE Solutions, a leader in renewable refueling solutions for sustainable mobility.
In order to devote all my energy into improving performance and the mass deployment of hydrogen mobility, naturally a zero-emission energy source.
Christel EMERY
Human Resources Director
Recruiting talent and developing HR roles to support HRS's development, while preserving the company’s initial culture… While Christel is aware of the scale of the challenge, the Human Resources director at HRS undeniably has all the skills to rise to it: not only does she have solid expertise in similar roles within the industrial and automotive sector (Araymond, Raydiall Automotive, Rolls Royce) both in France and abroad, but she has also developed skills in coaching to support teams.
For the human adventure, and because I believe as much in the company's potential as in its teams and values.

Frédéric DOSIÈRE

These positions led him to create and manage a Business Unit from A to Z, an adventure similar to his missions at HRS.
As CTO, Chief Transformation Officer, Frédéric is there to guide and transform HRS towards its next stage of development. He also chairs the management committee.
I chose HRS for its hydrogen democratization project, for its culture and its teams.
Our professions
HRS comprises a multitude of professions: our teams' skills include design, modelling, integration of various components (piping, electricity, automated systems, etc.), installation, and on-site maintenance.
Product Engineer
I work across the entire station development cycle, from identifying clients' needs to commissioning, and including studies and testing. HRS has enabled me to find the perfect balance between technology, project, and product, with concrete involvement in product design. At HRS, management knows how to encourage the involvement of employees and makes individual wellbeing a point of honour.
Pipe Fitter
For several years, I worked in the oil and gas sector, where I became aware of the climate challenges facing us over the coming years. The hydrogen sector is growing rapidly, and it would be a shame not to be involved in a challenge like this. When you join HRS, you join a company with a stimulating approach to work in terms of work/life balance – currently we're working four-day weeks.
After-Sales Maintenance Engineer
My role as an After-Sales Maintenance Engineer is to develop the maintenance policy for the stations and to optimise maintenance in particular by analysing feedback and implementing methods. Why HRS? Well, why not? 😊 After working for big international oil and gas companies for over 20 years, I decided to commit to a company starting out in a sector of the future. HRS is the future!
Project Manager
My role as a project manager is to deploy HRS hydrogen projects from the initial order to client acceptance, including the studies and installation at the site. As the businessdeveloped, the company has put its faith in me and I've evolved with it, and I am now head of the projects team. HRS is a dynamic company that gives employees great autonomy in order to help them grow. Added to that, we're based in the heart of the mountains, which is great for practising my favourite sports! In terms of daily training, I'm looking forward to the opening of the company gym at our premises in October 2023!
QHSE project manager
After working with hydrogen vehicles, I wanted to develop my experience at a future-oriented company, and I was interested in learning more about the refueling infrastructure. At HRS, I help to shape QSE policy on a day-to-day basis to ensure we're working safely, and to improve practices for increased efficiency. I work in a cross-disciplinary way with nearly every company department, because QSE is everybody's responsibility.
Pipe Fitter
During my career at HRS, I have been part of the 'Industrial piping' and 'Hydrogen refueling stations' teams – both of our business areas. I've always really enjoyed performing testing on stations, which is how I have gained more responsibility, and I now manage the sealing tests on every station that leaves our workshops. To work at HRS is to be part of a company where the CEO has worked in the workshops before us, which means he understands our expectations and that shows every day!"
Warehouse/Forklift Operator
After eight years working shifts, I joined HRS as a Warehouse/Forklift Operator working days. We finish at 4:30 pm and have three-day weekends! I was made to feel very welcome when I arrived, and received full integration training, including an introduction to all the company departments and their missions. That really helped me in my work because it gave me an overview of how the company is organised. Right from the first week, I realised I'd joined a human adventure in which everyone is involved".
Business Developer
After spending several years overseas working for big companies in the oil and gas industry, I decided to join HRS in order to develop my skills at a company on a more human scale whose aim is to build a more sustainable future. The opportunity to develop this objective abroad, with the opening of a subsidiary in Spain, will offer many challenges, but above all it's a very exciting and rewarding project.
Head of HR Development
I love building relationships, challenges, contributing to professional development and improving skills. I chose HRS because of its inspiring human aspect, and for the stimulating challenges offered by the hydrogen sector. I'm excited to work with a committed team, to contribute to the company's growth, and to be involved in the transition to cleaner and more sustainable energy source.
Development engineer
As a Systems Development Engineer, my job is to translate functional demand into a technical solution, and to justify its advantages and performance. I work together with our suppliers and our Testing team to benefit from their field experience. I joined HRS in 2021, looking for a stimulating working environment that valued innovation and research. I'm certain that energy management is the biggest challenge facing humanity in order to guarantee survival.
Quality Technician
Our stations meet the requirements of the directives and standards in force (pressure equipment, ATEX, machines, etc.) and being CE certified, I am responsible for managing the production monitoring files for each station. At HRS, the working atmosphere is very pleasant and that is important for a cross-functional position such as mine. In addition, I am currently in the process of a VAE (Validation of Acquired Experience) project and HRS is supporting me in this process and providing me with the necessary assistance. You should know that I was recruited above all for my experience and not based on my diplomas: I came from basic maintenance training!
Our values
HRS employees work according to four core values:
- Commitment
- Agility
- Excellence
- Wellbeing
Our commitments to employees
While environmental responsibility is in our DNA, wellbeing at work is also a value which has been deeply held since the company was founded.
