The Role:

Lead Electrical Maintenance Technician (Internally the role is called Senior Maintenance Technician)

Are you a well qualified and experienced electrical technician / engineer, with a background in process engineering industry, ideally energy from waste (although applications from other heavy industries very welcome)?
Then we want to speak to you!

Salary/Package

  • In return, we offer a salary of £40,000 - £43,345 plus up to 10% Bonus (~ £4,334), Company Pension, and benefits catalogue

  • Call-Out Allowance 1 week in 5 (~ £3,000 per annum) + min of 4 hours overtime at 1.5, for any actual call out hours.

  • Min Total Salary/On call Package at the time of joining up to £50,679.

  • There is also room within the banding for salary increases and career development

  • Additional Personal development programme.

    What will I be doing?

    You'll be making sure our STV 1,2 & 3 energy recovery plant is fully operational at all times. Day-to-day, you’ll plan and carry out a range of maintenance activities, leading and developing your team, whilst making sure safety, health and environmental standards are adhered to at all times. A cost-effective approach is important too, but best practice is crucial. Using your knowledge and experience, you’ll lead/mentor junior members of electrical maintenance team to perform at their best and provide specialist advice whenever required.

    What are the requirements?

    This is a role for a confident professional who has worked in a heavy industry in a hands-on maintenance role before. You’ll have an HNC in Electrical or Instrumentation field (or equivalent experience), and good working knowledge of environmental legislation. A Health & Safety qualification would be great but we’re more interested in your ability to lead a team, explain technical matters clearly, and improve plant availability.

Samsung Semiconductor Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Joining a Global Chip Leader

Over the past decade the semiconductor industry has moved from the wings to centre‑stage of the global economy. Governments talk about chips in the same breath as energy and food security; consumers want everything now; and engineers can pick from a feast of high‑tech employers. Few names shine brighter than Samsung Semiconductor. With record‑breaking fabs in Korea and the US, Europe‑wide design hubs and a culture that blends Korean dynamism with Silicon‑Valley agility, Samsung is aggressively hiring despite short‑term market turbulence. Whether you are a graduate fresh out of a UK university, a firmware guru eyeing a leap into AI accelerators, or a process engineer who loves the smell of cleanroom solvent in the morning, this guide gives you the UK‑centric the low‑down on Samsung semiconductor jobs in 2025.

Semiconductor Manufacturing vs. Chip Design vs. Embedded Systems: Which Path Should You Choose?

The semiconductor industry underpins virtually every aspect of modern technology—smartphones, computers, autonomous vehicles, high-performance computing, IoT devices, and more. As our world becomes increasingly digital, demand for cutting-edge integrated circuits (ICs) and chips continues to soar, driving significant growth in semiconductor jobs. If you’ve been exploring opportunities on www.semiconductorjobs.co.uk, you may notice roles spanning Semiconductor Manufacturing, Chip (IC) Design, and Embedded Systems. While they’re all integral to producing and utilising advanced semiconductors, each field focuses on distinct phases and processes within the semiconductor ecosystem. Which path should you choose if you’re passionate about pushing technology’s limits? In this in-depth article, we’ll define Semiconductor Manufacturing, Chip Design, and Embedded Systems, clarifying their core responsibilities, overlapping vs. distinctive skill sets, salary ranges, and real-world applications. Whether you’re a materials scientist, electrical engineer, software developer, or hardware enthusiast, understanding these subfields will help you chart a career that aligns with your interests and strengths—ultimately contributing to the next wave of innovation in electronic devices and beyond.

Which Programming Languages Should You Learn for a Semiconductor Career?

The semiconductor industry drives innovation at the heart of modern technology—from powerful data centre processors and mobile SoCs (Systems on a Chip) to automotive microcontrollers and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. As semiconductors grow ever more complex, the demand for skilled engineers proficient in hardware description, verification, and embedded software continues to surge. If you’re browsing opportunities on www.semiconductorjobs.co.uk, you might be wondering: Which programming language or hardware description language (HDL) should I learn first to launch a successful semiconductor career? The answer depends on which area of semiconductors you want to focus on: designing digital logic, implementing embedded software, crafting verification environments, or automating EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool flows. Each role and specialisation calls for a unique set of languages, from Verilog and VHDL (classic HDLs) to SystemVerilog (advanced verification), C/C++ (embedded software and system-level modelling), and Python or TCL (scripting and automation). This guide will help you: Identify which languages matter most in key semiconductor job categories. Understand pros, cons, and typical use cases of each language or HDL. Explore a hands-on project idea to sharpen your skills. Find essential resources, plus tips if you’re searching on www.semiconductorjobs.co.uk.
