About us
Rivan Industries is a vertically integrated synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise industries that can’t be electrified.
Over the past 2 years, we’ve designed and manufactured a modular synthetic fuel plant 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 now have a clear line of sight to producing synthetic fuels cheaper than fossil fuels over the next 5-10 years, becoming the first company in history to achieve this feat.
We’re looking for an Operations Lead – technically minded and elite at execution – with the scar tissue to own the foundations our company runs on, so we can meet our exponential manufacturing and deployment targets without anything critical breaking underneath us.
