We're hiring an Evenets Executive to help shape how people experience commercial properties, from the events they attend to the digital and physical touchpoints they interact with day-to-day.

This is a hands-on, delivery-focused role that blends creativity, organisation, and autonomy. You'll support national-level client accounts and contribute to a wider strategy that puts occupiers at the heart of the commercial property experience.

What you'll be doing:

Plan and deliver on-site events - from wellbeing sessions to professional workshops and social gatherings for 100+ people.

Curate and manage content for digital platforms including websites, apps, and social media (especially professional channels like LinkedIn).

Support and implement customer engagement strategies aligned to property brand identities.

Manage relationships with suppliers and creatives - from photographers to florists - and oversee event budgets.

Contribute to design proposals and pitch content, working with internal teams to deliver ideas that match each site's personality.

Be a key contact for clients and on-site teams, helping to maintain a high-quality experience across every interaction.

What we're looking for:

Experience in events, placemaking, hospitality, design, or similar sectors.

A confident, organised individual who's comfortable managing projects end-to-end.

Comfortable with social media and basic design tools like Canva or InDesign.

Naturally collaborative and able to communicate clearly with colleagues, suppliers, and senior stakeholders.

Someone who's entrepreneurial in mindset - able to treat the role like a business within a business.

An understanding of what makes a space culturally engaging, inclusive, and memorable.

Occasional UK travel and a full UK driving licence.

Why this role? This is an opportunity to join a growing team that's shaping how people connect with their workspaces. You'll have real ownership, support from experienced colleagues, and the freedom to be creative while delivering high-quality, people-focused experiences. It's varied, it's rewarding, and you'll never be stuck in one place for long.

How Many Semiconductor Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Semiconductor Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the semiconductor industry, it can feel like you’re expected to master an endless list of tools, software packages and lab equipment before you even submit a CV. One job advert wants experience with TCAD and process simulation, another mentions SPICE and yield tools, while yet another asks for test automation platforms, yield analysis software, hardware description languages, EDA suites and hundreds of others. With so many technical names thrown around, it’s easy to fall into “tool anxiety” — the feeling that you’re behind because you don’t know every piece of software, every lab instrument and every process control suite. Here’s the honest truth most semiconductor hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real engineering problems and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter, absolutely. But they exist to help you deliver measurable results — not to be collected like badges. So how many semiconductor tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer is a lot fewer than you might think — and far more focused on core capabilities than a long checklist. This guide breaks down what employers really value, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you are confident and credible.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Semiconductor Job Applications (UK Guide)

The semiconductor industry is fast-moving, highly technical and critically important to modern technology. Whether you’re targeting roles in device design, process engineering, yield improvement, test and validation, equipment engineering, reliability, failure analysis or fab operations, hiring managers are selective and deliberate in how they review applications. Most candidates still make the same mistake: they throw generic skill lists and duty statements at recruiters and hope it sticks. In reality, hiring managers make an early call — often within the first 10–20 seconds — based on a few key signals that tell them whether you’re a credible, relevant, impactful candidate. This article breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in semiconductor job applications — how they scan your CV, portfolio and cover letter, what makes them read deeper, and what causes strong candidates to be passed over in favour of others.

The Skills Gap in Semiconductor Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

The semiconductor industry lies at the heart of modern technology. From smartphones and data centres to autonomous vehicles, medical devices and defence systems, semiconductors power the digital age. The UK is investing heavily in semiconductor research, fabrication and talent development as part of its industrial strategy — yet employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not job-ready for semiconductor roles. Despite strong academic programmes in engineering, physics and materials science, there remains a tangible skills gap between what universities teach and what semiconductor employers actually need. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities do well, where there are consistent shortfalls, why the divide persists, what employers genuinely want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build successful careers in the semiconductor sector.
