About us

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 system, an Alkaline Electrolyser, and a Sabatier Reactor, whilst vertically integrating with off-grid DC solar and the European gas-grid. Here’s our entire business plan. We’ve recently deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next 2 years.

Do you want to work on the end-to-end design of one the most innovative process systems on Earth, where you deploy 1 system a week, not 1 system a decade like most incumbents?

There is no boilerplate engineering in this system, only the most innovative, problem solving engineers can thrive on this problem. We practice our culture, working in small teams, expecting complete ownership and ground up reasoning from our engineers, whilst executing at speed.

We operate with minimal process and bureaucracy, only what is essential to ensure our systems are safe, legally compliant, and deployed on time, everything else is up to you.

The role encompasses the full development cycle, but can be tailored to the specialist skillset of the applicant:

System architecture selection and process modelling (FEED)
Full system scope, including the methanation reactor, electrolyser balance-of-plant, DAC system, inter-unit gas handling and gas grid injection.
Ideating novel architectures and system integrations with the Rivan mindset
Intelligent, inherently safety design architectures
Bench scale testing and data analysis to feed into concept derisking
System wide process optimisation
Aspen modelling of reaction kinetics
PDFs and P&IDs
Defining control strategies
Component specification and procurement
Process Safety
Responsible for system wide process safety
Defining and executing build, deployment, commissioning and startup across:

Essential skills:

5+ years professional experience.
Bachelor’s or Masters in chemical engineering or related field.
