Create job alert

Are you a well qualified and experienced maintenance technician / engineer, with a background in process engineering industry, ideally energy from waste?
Then we want to speak to you!

In return, we offer a salary of £39,155 - £45,930 plus up to 10% Bonus (~ £4,593), Call-Out Allowance (~ £2,500), Company Pension, and benefits catalogue.
Total Package at the time of joining up to £53,023.
We’ll help you progress, and develop yourself further, and will support you with creating a development plan to achieve that.

What will I be doing?

You'll be making sure our Suffolk Energy Recovery plant is fully operational at all times. Day-to-day, you’ll plan and carry out a range of maintenance activities, leading and developing your team, whilst making sure safety, health and environmental standards are adhered to at all times. A cost-effective approach is important too, but best practice is crucial. Using your knowledge and experience, you’ll lead junior members of electrical maintenance team to perform at their best and provide specialist advice whenever required.

What are the requirements?

This is a role for a confident professional who has worked in a heavy industry in a hands-on maintenance role before. You’ll have an HNC in Electrical or Instrumentation field (or equivalent experience), and good working knowledge of environmental legislation. A Health & Safety qualification would be great but we’re more interested in your ability to lead a team, explain technical matters clearly, and improve plant availability.

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
