Senior Process Engineer

Based in Auckland, New Zealand for 1.5 years, this role offers international experience before transitioning back to the UK.
 
We are seeking a Senior Process Engineer to drive the design and delivery of a demonstration-scale black mass refining plant, supporting the recovery of critical metals from lithium-ion batteries. You'll collaborate with contractors, vendors, and internal teams, refine process designs, and assist with commissioning and operation.
 
The Senior Process Engineer will:

Lead process engineering for LIB processing plants, including extraction, precipitation, concentration, and crystallisation.
Develop and maintain engineering deliverables such as mass/energy balances, PFDs, P&IDs, equipment specifications, and operating procedures.
Provide technical guidance and governance, mentoring junior engineers and reviewing engineering work.
Participate in structured design reviews, HAZOPs, risk assessments, and ensure designs are safe, operable, and maintainable.
Support commissioning, troubleshooting, optimisation, and operationalisation of the demonstration facility.
Collaborate with contractors, vendors, and internal teams to integrate equipment, resolve design queries, and ensure regulatory compliance.  
The Senior Process Engineer will have:

BE (Hons) or BTech in Process Engineering; Chartered or Member status preferred.
Minimum 6 years post-qualification experience (3+ years if MSc).
Experience in hydrometallurgy, mineral processing, or related sectors is highly desirable.
Strong understanding of scale-up considerations for commercial facilities.
Proven experience in technical governance, reviewing engineering deliverables, and mentoring engineers.
Excellent communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills with a hands-on, practical approach.  
If you're a hands-on, innovative Senior Process Engineer, this is your chance to lead the development of cutting-edge sustainable technology.
Apply today and be part of a team shaping the future of battery recycling and critical metal recovery

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.
