About Rivan
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, whilst vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. Here’s our entire business plan. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.
As Deployment Project Engineer
As Deployment Project Engineer, you'll work directly with the Head of Deployment to take that a step further, delivering Rivan’s first commercial project to export gas directly into the grid.
We build our own sites from first principles. While most developers hand a consented field to an EPC contractor, we run the entire process ourselves to make sure every deployment is faster and more cost-effective than the last. You’ll take the project from initial design to autonomous operation, coordinating engineers, contractors, and external stakeholders. More importantly, you will help define the deployment blueprint that we will use to deploy at scale. You will then step up to own larger, end-to-end deployments across the UK and Europe.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The role
- Take Rivan's projects from a consented field to gas flowing into the grid, on programme and on budget.
- Coordinate and influence the design and installation of key deployment packages. This covers system solar, site power, groundworks, gas pipework, and the connections to Rivan's system. You set the requirements and work from first principles with our engineers and design consultants to deliver simple, scalable designs, at cost.
- Manage the programme and the relationships that drive it, working with gas networks, landowners, highway and planning authorities, suppliers and our own engineering and commissioning teams.
- Handling procurement and contracts, choosing contractors, agreeing prices and setting terms.
- Track project budgets, schedule variations, and procurement, proactively flagging and mitigating risks.
- Coordinating pre-construction and construction in line with CDM and UK health and safety regulations, supported by a CDM specialist.
- Building the deployment playbook so Rivan can deploy at scale, working with our engineers to implement improvements and automations rather than just document them.
Core skills
- Experience delivering a large, complex project end to end.
- An engineering background, degree or equivalent.
- You understand structural, electrical and process drawings and know which questions to ask where you're not the expert.
- Reason from first principles. When an external party says "that's how it's always done", your instinct is to understand the key requirements and factors then work out if there's a better way.
- Commercially sharp. You've caught a padded quote, reasoned a price down on evidence or keep work scoped to avoid creep and ambiguity.
- Aligning incentives to keep external parties to our timeline and budget.
- Comfortable running several workstreams at once and working between our London HQ and project sites.
