About Revida Water

Revida Water is transforming how the world treats and reuses water.

We are the first company in the world to demonstrate the conversion of winery wastewater, dairy processing wastewater, and post-digester cow manure into potable drinking water. Our work has been featured by NBC Bay Area, NBC Chicago, Ag Alert, and industry podcasts.

We design, build, and operate modular water reuse systems for the food and agriculture industries, helping customers turn waste into valuable resources while reducing freshwater consumption. You'll work on systems that are already operating in the field — not concepts on paper.

If you want to be on the ground floor of a high-growth, mission-driven company solving real water challenges for real customers, this is your chance.
