Engineering Technician (£50k-£60k) at Rivan Industries - VC-backed synthetic fuel startup
About the role
Rivan Industries is on a mission to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels, and they need a world class Engineering Technician to accelerate their build pace. Backed by the Collison brothers and 20VC, this Bermondsey based team has already deployed the UK’s largest synthetic fuel plant. If you’re a master of fabrication, welding, and plumbing who thrives in a 'iterate or die' culture, this is your chance to own the workshop and scale climate tech 1000x. Includes a unique £6k annual housing subsidy and unlimited PTO.
About Rivan
Rivan Industries designs, manufactures, and deploys modular synthetic fuel plants. Their mission is to make life sustainable on earth by making it cheaper to pull fuels from the air than drill from the ground.
Rivan's technology captures CO2 directly from the atmosphere using a Direct Air Capture (DAC) system, splits water via an alkaline electrolyser to produce hydrogen, and synthesizes these together in a Sabatier reactor to produce synthetic natural gas — injected directly into the European gas grid. All of this is powered by off-grid solar that Rivan develops and deploys themselves, giving them access to the cheapest energy source in the world.
This isn't a carbon credit play — it's a pure economics company. Rivan is building foundational technology for an entirely new industry, aiming to produce synthetic fuels cheaper than fossil alternatives. They've deployed the UK's largest synthetic fuel plant and are planning to 1000x this scale in the next two years, with planning permission for what will be Europe's largest synthetic fuel plant.
