Join the team decarbonising non-electrifiable industries by making synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels. You will own the integration between engineering, manufacturing, and commercial functions, driving elite execution as Rivan scales its modular plants 1000x. This is a high-intensity role for a leader ready to help "mine the sky" for carbon.

Location: London, UK

What you will do:

• Optimize factory layouts and assembly flows to maximize production velocity, quality, and repeatability for modular fuel plant components.

• Lead technical due diligence for project finance to secure the capital required for 1000x scaling over the next two years.

• Manage complex engineering builds and specify industrial equipment while coordinating with third-party contractors for successful site deployments.

The ideal candidate:

• Holds a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Engineering (or a related field) with at least 5 years of professional experience in technical environments.

• Demonstrates a proven track record of executing complex hardware or infrastructure projects with the "scar tissue" needed for fast-paced startup execution.

• Possesses an innate curiosity for technical problem-solving, often evidenced by interesting engineering side projects or deep experience in fuels and chemicals.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
