Engineering Technician – Rivan Industries
About Us
Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a synthetic fuel company driving the decarbonisation of heavy industry. Our mission? To make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on Earth by keeping CO₂ locked underground.
We design and manufacture modular synthetic fuel plants, integrating core elements like a Direct Air Capture (DAC) system, an alkaline electrolyser, and a Sabatier reactor, paired with off-grid DC solar infrastructure. Our latest milestone: the deployment of the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant. We’re now focused on scaling by 1,000x over the next two years.
At our HQ, “increase iteration speed or die” is ingrained in our culture. Success hinges on rapid iteration—moving swiftly from flawed designs to proven solutions. Given that information is the bottleneck, your ability to build prototypes, test assemblies, and extract actionable data is critical to our progress.
We’re seeking an Engineering Technician who thrives on hands-on problem-solving, values meticulous attention to detail, and feels stifled in their current environment. If you love building things and aim to accelerate engineering outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
