Junior Engineer

Rivan Industries (Rivan.com) is a synthetic fuel company designed to decarbonise heavy industry. We’ve developed a unique power-to-fuel machine built for low-capex deployment powered entirely by utility-scale solar. Here’s our entire business plan. We already have individual operating modules of our machine, we’re funded, and we’re now building out the team to bring the vision together and deploy at scale. 

We aim to make synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels and sustain life on earth by keeping the CO2 locked underground. We’re looking for a Junior Engineer to help us speed up development of our 3 core product modules – Alkaline electrolyser, Direct-air-capture, and Sabatier reactor. If you want to work on a high-impact technology that you’ll see the impact of in the world surrounded by smart people working with a sense of urgency and intensity – this is for you.

The role:

• We’re always on the lookout for young, talented engineers across all domains at Rivan:
• Thermal
• Mechanical
• Process
• System
• CAD
• Fluids
• Chemical
• We offer fully paid internships from 3-months to a year.
• If that’s you, apply below with why you’d be great to help us achieve our mission.

The things that are important to us for this role:

• Execution history. What have you built or designed before where you had the responsibility? HYSYS is easy, have you done this in the real world?
• Reasoning by first principles. Can you deconvolute complex scenarios into their foundational truths or parts?
• Urgency. We don’t have time to wait, are you comfortable with a high-degree of risk and pressure to move fast?
• Grit. How relentless will you be despite set-backs? We’re going up against some big opposition.

The things we don’t care about very much:

• Where you went to school / education
• Where you have worked previously

Specifics:

• £25-35k Salary depending on experience
• Significant share options as part of the early team
• In-person work at our HQ in Bermondsey, South-East London
• Flexible time-off
