Do you have an understanding of processes such as machining and the fabrication of metal components/parts?

Do you have experience in planning manufacturing methods within a machining or fabrication environment and a how can we do things better mindset?

If so then please read on!

The basics:

Role: Process Engineer - machining and fabrication

Location: Consett

Salary: Up to £50000 DOE

Hours - Monday to Thursday, 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 1pm

Holidays - 34 per annum inc BH

Pension - 3% employer, 5% employee

Overview:

We now require an additional Process Engineer to join the team due to expansion. The company have sites across the UK and EU and manufacturer components for some well-known names within industry.

This role will require an understanding in to how components are made out of metal - techniques such as machining, fabrication, anodising and metal manipulation.

You will create manufacturing route cards (SOP's and methods to manufacture) to ensure the best methods to manufacture whilst continually looking at improvements.

The ideal candidate Process Engineer may have some of the following, however, please note these are only desirable and not essential as all applications will be looked at individually:

  • Previous experience writing SOP's, methods of manufacture

  • Knowledge of machining and fabrication of metal components

  • Excellent inter-personal and presentation skills

  • Ability to read manufacturing drawings and specifications and break out the details and processes required for each operation required for manufacture.

  • Competence in Office particularly Excel, Word and Project.

  • Previous experience working in a role where streamlining and improving processes is key aspect of the your role.

    Commutable from Consett, Durham, Sunderland and surrounding areas.

    If you are interested in the Process Engineer role, please apply immediately due to the urgency of this position.

How to Write a Semiconductor Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Semiconductors sit at the heart of modern technology. From consumer electronics and automotive systems to AI, defence, telecoms and advanced manufacturing, semiconductor professionals play a critical role in designing, fabricating and testing the components that power the global economy. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Semiconductor job adverts often receive either very few applications or a high volume of unsuitable ones. Experienced engineers and scientists frequently ignore adverts that feel vague, generic or disconnected from the realities of semiconductor development and manufacturing. In most cases, the issue is not a shortage of talent — it is the clarity and quality of the job advert. Semiconductor professionals are detail-oriented, process-driven and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unclear expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, precision and long-term intent. This guide explains how to write a semiconductor job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Semiconductor Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are aiming for semiconductor jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need a PhD level maths toolkit. In practice most roles do not. Whether you are targeting device engineering, process engineering, yield engineering, product engineering, test, reliability, RF, analogue, digital design, EDA, packaging or applications engineering, the maths you actually use clusters into a few workhorse areas. This guide strips it back to the topics that genuinely help you get hired & perform well on the job: Exponents, logs & “physics curves” (Arrhenius style behaviour, subthreshold, leakage) Calculus in plain English (rates, gradients, differential equations intuition) Device electrostatics & transport basics (Poisson equation intuition, drift & diffusion) Complex numbers for AC & RF (impedance, phasors, frequency response) Signals maths (Fourier intuition, bandwidth, noise density) Probability & statistics for manufacturing (SPC, DOE, yield models, reliability basics) Basic optimisation habits (fitting models, tuning trade-offs, making decisions with data) You will also get a 6 week plan, portfolio projects & a resources section you can follow without getting pulled into unnecessary theory.

Neurodiversity in Semiconductor Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Semiconductors sit quietly at the heart of everything: phones, cars, medical devices, satellites, data centres & everyday appliances. Behind every chip are people designing circuits, running fabs, testing wafers, modelling devices & solving problems most users never see. Those people are not all “textbook” engineers – & that’s a good thing. If you’re neurodivergent (for example living with ADHD, autism or dyslexia), you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a high-precision, high-reliability industry. In reality, many of the traits that made school or traditional offices hard can be huge strengths in semiconductor work: intense focus on detail, pattern-spotting in test data, creative thinking around yield & process issues. This guide is written for semiconductor job seekers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a semiconductor context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to chip & fab roles Workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the semiconductor industry – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
