Join to apply for the Senior/ Lead Mechanical Engineer role at Rivan Industries
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’ve designed and manufactured modular synthetic fuel plants consisting of a DAC system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. Here’s our manifesto on how we plan to do it (https://rivan.com/the-case-for-synthetic-fuels/). We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.
We’re looking for a Senior/ Lead Mechanical Engineer to bring our designs to life and help integrate our reactor, electrolyser and DAC systems. You’ll be working on proven systems that we’ve designed over the past 12 months that we need to integrate, optimise, prepare for manufacture, and reduce cost of. We need talented, experienced engineers that are curious with a sense of urgency to help us battle the thermodynamics to wrestle H2 and CO2 into formation.
We have one single goal – reduce the levelised cost of methane to the point drilling stops and companies mine the sky for carbon. If you urge to make a difference in the real-world, surrounded by people you admire doing great work with intensity, this is for you.
