Our client is looking for a Process Assistant based at their Carluke, Scotland Factory.

They want to recruit someone with demonstrable basic experience of using Microsoft Suite to maintain business systems and processes which in turn support the main production of Silicon Carbide Coated products for Semiconductor and Renewable Energy customers around the world.

This is a versatile role that requires good logic and problem-solving skills, self-motivated and able to work independently when required. Knowledge of cleanroom environments would be an additional bonus as their manufacturing and inspection are conducted in cleanrooms, but not critical. 

If that's you, then you could be exactly what they are looking for, even if you've got limited work experience but have recently graduated in a relevant or related field.

Please note: In this position you'll be needed to occasionally work some weekends, as well as occasionally working shifts and covering on-call in unsociable hours. Full details of how this will work will be revealed at interview.

The Company

The company is part of a larger group within the Vacuum and Semiconductor industry supplying Silicon Carbide Coated graphite for use in semiconductor, solar and aerospace industries amongst others. This is a growing market fuelled by the demand for computer and power chips. They operate in cleanroom conditions exporting 90% of their products but mainly to the US, Japan, and Europe. As a business, they've been around since 2016.

Being part of a friendly and fun team, with a solution focused positive outlook, where blame and negativity are not part of the culture.
Want to see a quality end-product they can be proud of.
Everyone has a say in how the business operates and encourages a healthy work/life balance.

As the Process Assistant, you will be responsible for supporting the production team, hands on with incoming and outgoing material inspections, and preparing the CVD reactor for operation. This is a unique process, and full training will be provided for this position which will include working individually and as a team to meet agreed production plans and system maintenance requirements.

In the job you'll be tasked with the following:

Goods in and part inspection
Packing and dispatch
Process operation and inspection
System maintenance

The Candidate

The ideal candidate for this Process Assistant role will have relevant experience of using spreadsheets and Microsoft Office, able to follow admin systems and defined processes.

You'll also need experience of:

Working as part of a team
Producing and able to demonstrate a high standard of work
Goods in / goods out and material handling of fragile parts
Microsoft Office using Excel, Word, Teams and Outlook

In addition, you'll need the following:

The ability to work independently using your own initiative
Problem solving skills with a willingness to learn
Good organisational skills
A-level as a minimum although the right knowledge and experience will be taken into consideration

The standard hours of work are 37.5 hours per week, Monday to Thursday from 8am – 4:30pm and Friday from 8am – 1:30pm.

Salary and Benefits:

Holiday: 25 days including bank holidays

Bonus: A non-guaranteed loyalty-based bonus scheme is in place

The role and responsibilities as Process Assistant is one that is varied and rewarding. Working with a small team to manage processes, review data and make decisions to achieve desired production outputs.  The company encourages all staff to be mindful in their interactions, to focus on solutions rather than problems and to create an environment where learning, improvement, work/life balance and change is the norm.

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
