Chemical Lab Technician Join a pioneering team decarbonising heavy industry by making synthetic fuel cheaper than fossil fuels. As a Chemical Lab Technician, you will drive the R&D process through hands-on experimentation, helping Rivan scale their modular plants 1000x over the next two years. You will be the engine of innovation in their Bermondsey-based facility. Salary: £40k-£50k + Equity Location: London, UK Why this role is remarkable:

• Work at the forefront of climate tech with the team that recently deployed the UK's largest synthetic fuel plant
• Gain significant early-stage equity in a high-growth company vertically integrating DAC, electrolysis, and Sabatier reactor technologies
• Enjoy a high-impact environment with unlimited time-off and a mission-driven culture focused on keeping CO2 locked underground

What you will do:

• Design, build, and operate bench-scale experiments focusing on gas-solid reactions including hydration, carbonation, and calcination
• Execute meticulous test plans and utilize Design of Experiments (DoE) principles to accelerate the hypothesis-test-iterate cycle
• Analyze complex data sets and present technical findings to the broader engineering team to refine modular plant designs

The ideal candidate:

• Holds 2–5 years of hands-on laboratory or pilot-scale experience within a chemical engineering or applied chemistry environment
• Possesses a degree or equivalent (HNC/HND/BSc) in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering with strong knowledge of gas-solid systems
• Demonstrates proficiency in data analysis using tools like Excel, MATLAB, or Python alongside a rigorous approach to lab safety
