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. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.
The Role
As our Electrical Commissioning Engineer, you'll work in Rivan’s Deployment team to ensure every system and sub-system successfully completes factory acceptance testing, site integration and site acceptance testing until they’re operating autonomously. This starts with delivering Rivan’s first commercial project to export gas directly into the grid. You’ll then step up to lead electrical commissioning teams on larger 100MW and 1GW projects. Importantly, you will help define the blueprint we use to rapidly and safely commission our systems at scale.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Responsibilities
- Own electrical commissioning end to end, from factory acceptance through site integration to site acceptance, until each system runs autonomously.
- Design and lead the temporary and permanent low voltage setup for each site.
- Commission our solar arrays and plant electrical systems, from first energisation to steady operation.
- Prove the interfaces between our plant, the solar array and the site infrastructure work as designed.
- Commission SCADA, remote monitoring and control, so sites can be run and diagnosed from anywhere.
- Feed commissioning back into design. The person who commissions a system knows best what should have been designed differently.
- Define how Rivan commissions electrical systems, so each site is faster and safer than the last.
Core Skills
- Installation, commissioning, testing and operation of electrical systems
- Comfortable commissioning equipment that has never run before, where the drawing may be wrong and the answer isn't in a manual
- Hands-on fault finding, anomaly detection and diagnosis
- DC power generation, inverters and energy storage systems
- Experience with the Machinery Directive and Low Voltage Directive
- Confident holding the line on safe systems of work during energisation and live testing.
- Thrives in the field. You'll spend meaningful time on active project sites
