About Us
Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on Earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground.
We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.
We’re looking for an Assembly Team Lead as we continue to expand into our new 60,000 sq ft manufacturing and R&D facility in London, and simultaneously deploy our hardware at project sites. This is someone who understands how to effectively manage a group of Assembly Technicians to create and build systems which will change the world. You’ll ensure that the systems are built promptly, and to the highest standards.

- Managing team of Assembly Technicians (Fitters) to ensure components and assemblies are built and tested in a timely manner.
- Use of lifting equipment such as gantry cranes to safely assemble heavy assemblies.
- Quick turnaround of repeat production orders.

Building of Complex Systems
- Whilst you will be managing a team to build critical systems. This role will require someone who is also experienced in fitting, and can step in when possible.

- Feed design learnings back to the R&D and Manufacturing Engineers to improve future designs
Quality

- This role is the first line of defence, you will instill a culture of quality into your team.
Safety
- Rivan Industries considers safety the utmost importance. It is critical in this role that the operations conducted within the team are to the highest safety standards.
