About Revive Environmental

Revive Environmental is a mission-driven, early-stage environmental technology company delivering rapid, permanent solutions for PFAS and other persistent environmental contaminants. Our flagship Annihilator™ systems are built on patented supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) technology and are setting a new standard for destruction of PFAS-laden waste streams.

Revive is a startup. We operate with the speed, resourcefulness, and hands-on ownership that early-stage companies require, and every member of our team plays a direct role in scaling a technology built to solve one of the most urgent environmental challenges of our time.

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled Instrumentation & Electrical (I&E) Technician to join our team and help keep Revive's PFAS destruction technology running safely, reliably, and in compliance with regulatory requirements.

The I&E Technician is responsible for the installation, maintenance, calibration, and troubleshooting of electrical systems, field instrumentation, and process control equipment supporting Revive's supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) units. This role works closely with operations, engineering, and safety teams to ensure equipment reliability, process stability, and a safe working environment.

Are you someone who wants access to some of the world's most advanced environmental technologies and is passionate about making the world a better place to live? Are you someone that has high energy, and loves collaboration and solving real-world challenges? If so, come and do your life's best work at Revive Environmental.

What to Expect at a Growing Startup

Revive is small, moving fast, and building something that does not yet exist anywhere else. That work does not fit neatly into a fixed schedule. This role calls for real ownership of outcomes rather than hours worked, and the person in this position should expect the effort required, particularly around commissioning milestones, field events, and emergent operational issues, to extend beyond the standard day. We aim to be direct about that expectation up front, because the candidates who thrive at Revive are the ones who choose it with open eyes.
