No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will own process engineering across Rivan's reactor, electrolyser and Direct Air Capture systems, leading process safety and system design from early architecture through to deployment and commissioning. This is an opportunity to join an engineering-first company at an early stage of scaling a novel synthetic fuel technology from MW-scale deployment towards 50MW+ systems.
