Process Engineer - Odour and Emission Controls

£50,000 - £60,000 + Package

Hertfordshire

Do you thrive on solving tough engineering problems, prototyping new ideas, and driving R&D that actually gets implemented?

If so, we want to hear from you.

Alecto Recruitment is partnering with a growing company within the Odour and emissions control sector who work closely with the Anaerobic Digestion and Waste sectors and is looking to take on a Process Engineer.

Role and Responsibilities:

You'll be hands-on, at the core of innovation, helping us break into new markets and solve real-world challenges. Day to day, you'll:
Design, optimise, and implement solutions for clients across the waste and biogas sector.
Interpret tenders, align them with our client's standard kit, and identify opportunities for smarter solutions.
Support sales teams with process design, optimisation, and troubleshooting.
Lead R&D initiatives-from developing new products to testing prototypes and conducting trials.
Carry out feasibility studies and data analysis that drive continuous improvement.
Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership across project teams.
Work closely with clients, suppliers, and internal teams to ensure successful outcomes.
Ensure projects meet the highest standards of safety, compliance, and environmental responsibility.

Skills and Qualifications:

A degree in Chemical, Process, Environmental Engineering or related field.

Proven experience in process engineering, ideally in utilities, environmental, or energy sectors.
Hands-on experience with prototyping and trial development (yes, using hand tools too).
A strong background-or clear passion-for R&D, innovation, and new technology.
Experience with anaerobic digestion (AD), wastewater treatment, or related processes (a big plus).
Excellent problem-solving, project management, and communication skills.
We have CAD engineers, but some CAD modifications would be useful if the applicant has experience

Semiconductor Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the semiconductor jobs market is in that awkward phase of being both overheated and cautious. Global chip demand is booming again, driven by AI, data centres, automotive, defence, 5G and consumer electronics. Fab capacity is set to hit record highs as new plants come online worldwide. At the same time, we are seeing: Waves of investment and hiring in some regions and companies. Restructuring and layoffs in others, as firms rebalance portfolios and chase AI margins. A deepening global skills shortage, with forecasts of major shortfalls in engineers and technicians by 2030. For the UK, the sector is small but strategically vital. The National Semiconductor Strategy, public funding and participation in European chip programmes are all aimed at building domestic capability in design, compound semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. So what does all this mean for semiconductor jobs in 2026 – and for employers trying to recruit in a brutally competitive market?

Semiconductor Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK semiconductor hiring has shifted from credentials & tool lists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises shipped silicon, yield/reliability gains, verification coverage, DFM/DFT maturity, robust bring‑up, safe/efficient fab operations and measurable business impact (PPM, YMS wins, time‑to‑yield, test cost, opex). This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for RTL/ASIC/SoC, analog/mixed‑signal/RF, verification, physical design, DFT/ATPG, product/test, failure analysis & reliability, process/device, equipment/maintenance, EHS, supply chain & operations roles. Who this is for: Digital design & verification engineers, PD & timing closure, analog/mixed‑signal/RF designers, DFT/ATPG/BIST, STA/PDN/SI/PI specialists, product/test engineers (ATE/DFT), yield/reliability & FA, device/process (FEOL/BEOL), equipment & facilities, EHS/compliance, supply‑chain/outsourcing (OSAT/Foundry), and programme/product managers across the UK semicon ecosystem.

Why Semiconductor Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Semiconductors power everything from smartphones to advanced computing to automotive systems. The UK semiconductor industry is expanding amid renewed global interest in chip sovereignty and lithography innovation. But the demands on professionals in semiconductor roles are shifting too. Today, semiconductor careers are no longer limited to clean-room engineers or circuit layout designers. Because chips affect data privacy, critical infrastructure, supply security and performance constraints, careers in this sphere are becoming deeply multidisciplinary. Knowledge in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design is increasingly relevant to semiconductor engineering. In this article, we’ll explore why semiconductor careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with semiconductor work, and what job-seekers & employers can do to adapt.
