An opportunity has arisen for a Process Engineer to join the Engineering team at our East Midlands-based office. Hybrid working arrangements may be considered for this role.
The successful candidate will report directly to the Regional Discipline Lead and will be responsible for delivering high-quality engineering design services. The objective is to minimize risks and maximize project profitability across both turnkey and engineering services.
Key responsibilities include:
Co-ordination and production of process design documents and drawings, ensuring compliance with relevant health & safety requirements, specifications, and standards.
Managing the technical aspects of project delivery along with specific departmental management functions and initiatives.
Producing economical process designs that meet specifications and can be constructed and commissioned efficiently.
Evaluating the impact of design outputs on design time, material costs, erection costs, and interactions with other disciplines.
Assisting the Regional Discipline Lead in writing, updating, and monitoring procedures to enhance departmental efficiency.
Collaborating with internal and external teams to optimise project benefits through coordinated design efforts.
Supporting management in promoting a culture of customer satisfaction, recognizing that 'customers' may include both external clients and internal departments.
Ensuring all designs fully consider and incorporate health and safety requirements.
Candidate Requirements
Essential:
Degree in Chemical Engineering.
Demonstrated experience in developing process designs.
Ability to rationalize and deliver cost-effective process designs.
Background in multidisciplinary process plant projects.

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.

Semiconductor Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Semiconductors sit behind almost everything: smartphones, EVs, medical devices, aerospace systems, telecoms networks, cloud data centres & the AI boom. In the UK, the semiconductor ecosystem spans chip design, IP, photonics, compound semiconductors, testing, packaging, equipment, supply chain & R&D. That breadth creates real opportunities for career switchers in their 30s, 40s & 50s, especially if you target roles where experience, process discipline & delivery skills matter as much as deep device physics. This article gives you a UK reality check: what semiconductor jobs actually look like, which roles are realistic for career switchers, what skills employers value, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a barrier.
