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.

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

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.

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.
