Are you open to the opportunity of moving to Sweden?

Do you have 10 years+ with process engineering?

Then this opportunity could be for you!

Opportunity

The Process Engineer is responsible for process engineering activities within investment projects managed by the Engineering department in Manufacturing. They act as project managers during the pre-study phase, including scoping, planning and estimating investments, as well as preparing investment request documentation prior to project approval.

They also work as members in projects as responsible for process engineering activities, where they are responsible for the planning and quality of their own work and ensuring these fulfils the applicable rules and regulations together with company policies.

This role requires travel, remote work and collaboration with internal and external departments or companies.

Dimensions of the job:

The Process Engineer impacts the safety, reliability, sustainability and profitability performance of the business through supporting the execution of projects dedicated to improving at least one of these four areas. They support by developing the technical solutions within process engineering in selected investment projects managed by engineering and are also managing the pre-study phase of investments projects.

The Engineering project group works in close collaboration with all parts of the business both commercial and engineering.

They will be responsibility for the technical solutions within the Process Engineering for selected investment projects managed by Engineering.

• Verify and assure the reliability of process solutions in projects.

• Participate in engineering projects as a Process Engineer as allocated by the Head of Process Engineering.

• Take responsibility for planning and quality control of process activities within a project.

• Provide technical guidance to other process engineers in their daily activities, including

preparation of project deliverables such as calculations and drawings etc.

• Provide technical support for the procurement of process equipment, including equipment specifications.

• Develop and improve the process engineering team’s working methods and tools.

• Develop and improve process execution philosophies and procedures as well as design and technology philosophies.

• Assists with technical support beyond pure project activities, such as troubleshooting, capacity testing, advice on maintenance, continuous improvement, HAZOP support etc.

The Process Engineer plays a crucial role in developing effective and safe solutions within their discipline area for the investment projects that are required to fulfil the safety, reliability, sustainability and profitability objectives of the manufacturing group in support of companies strategic goals.

The ideal candidate will possess a good understanding of process and engineering in a refinery petrochemical environment, including the quality and safety aspects of process design. They will also have a good ability to organise and prioritise, good communication skills, and an ability to work well within a team.

Key requirements:

The Process Engineer has:

• Demonstrated relevant experience in process engineering within the process industry, refining, petrochemical industry, or a similar field.

• Degree and hopefully Master of Science in Chemical Engineering or equivalent.

• Proficiency in process design calculations (pressure drop, equipment sizing, PSV

dimensioning etc).

• Familiarity in development of Heat and Material Balance as well as PFD, PID. • Familiarity with process simulation tools (HYSYS) is advantageous.

• Experience in HAZOPs (HAZOP -leader is meritorious, but not essential). • Experience in SmartPlant Foundation (SPF) for documentation is a plus.

• Proficiency in MS Office applications (MS Word, Excel, Outlook, Team, etc.)

Fluent in spoken and written English with proficiency in Swedish beneficial

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Semiconductor Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Semiconductors are the foundational technology of the modern world. Every smartphone, electric vehicle, data centre, medical device, satellite, and AI accelerator depends on them. And yet for much of the past decade, the strategic importance of semiconductor design and manufacturing was something that governments, investors, and employers took largely for granted — until supply chain crises, geopolitical tensions, and the insatiable compute demands of artificial intelligence made the vulnerability of global semiconductor supply chains impossible to ignore. The response has been significant and sustained. The UK's National Semiconductor Strategy, the US CHIPS Act, the EU Chips Act, and parallel investment programmes across Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan have collectively committed hundreds of billions of pounds to semiconductor research, design, and manufacturing capability. In the UK specifically, that investment is beginning to translate into real hiring — across compound semiconductor manufacturing, chip design, semiconductor equipment, advanced packaging, and the growing ecosystem of fabless design companies that are choosing Britain as their base. For job seekers, the semiconductor jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is more commercially urgent, more geographically distributed, and more technically diverse than at any previous point in the sector's UK history. The roles being created span the full semiconductor value chain — from fundamental materials research and process engineering through chip design, verification, and the software that makes silicon useful. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where that value chain is being built, which technical areas are attracting the most investment, and how to position their skills at the intersection of the sector's greatest needs. This article breaks down what the UK semiconductor jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most strategically important technology sectors in the UK economy.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.
