Process Engineer - Welding

Are you a hands-on Process Engineer with a passion for automated manufacturing? We're looking for someone just like you to join our Newport team on a 6-month fixed-term contract!

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in both modifying two existing products and introducing two exciting new ones into production. You'll be right where the action is-working directly with production machinery, implementing practical changes, and leading pre-production trials to ensure everything runs like clockwork.

You'll work closely with our Product Development Engineer based in Sweden, acting as the vital link between product design and manufacturing reality. With around 80% of your time on the shop floor, this role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Key responsibilities as Process Engineer will be to: -

  • Modify and optimise existing production equipment to suit updated and new product designs.
  • Program and operate automated machinery like conveyors, cutters, and folding machines.
  • Tweak machine sequences and settings for top performance.
  • Lead pre-production trials and support production rollouts.
  • Collaborate with the remote Product Development Engineer to ensure designs are ready to hit the shop floor.

    The successful Process Engineer will: -

  • Solid experience in automated manufacturing environments.
  • Strong hands-on skills with machinery for cutting, folding, gluing, or printing.
  • The ability to troubleshoot and fine-tune machine timing, speed, and sequence.
  • A proactive mindset and love for practical problem-solving.
  • Confidence working in a dynamic, production-driven environment.

    On offer:

  • £35.00 Hour - Limited Company Rate or £28.00 Hour PAYE Rate

    Interested? To apply, please send your CV to Emma Brighouse at Morgan Ryder Associates to progress.

    At Morgan Ryder we can provide you with a full range of employment opportunities from short term and fixed term temporary vacancies to permanent positions.

    We recruit for companies that operate in the following industries: Food and Drink Manufacturers, FMCG, Packaging, Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, Warehousing, Logistics, Waste Management, Petro Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Power & Renewable Energy.

    Please note that calls to and from the offices of Morgan Ryder Associates Ltd. may be monitored or recorded. This is to ensure compliance with regulatory procedures, record business transactions and for training purposes

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.

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.

Education Jobs

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.
