Senior Process Engineer - Cement

£Very Competitive + Bonus + Excellent Benefits

Location: Buxton, Derbyshire (commutable from Sheffield, Macclesfield, Matlock, Chesterfield, Rotherham, Huddersfield, Oldham, Stockport, Warrington)

Are you a cement process optimisation expert ready to lead innovation, boost efficiency, and support decarbonisation at one of the UK's most technically advanced cement plants? Do you have cement industry experience gained in the UK or Europe?

We're hiring a Senior Process Engineer for a nationally significant cement facility located near Buxton, Derbyshire. The site features a state-of-the-art pre-calciner kiln, automated sampling, and advanced digital control system. This is a strategic role with strong progression potential and a chance to drive performance and sustainability at scale.

The Role:

  • You'll collaborate with cross-functional engineering, production, and quality teams to:
  • Optimise kiln and clinker performance, reduce heat and power consumption
  • Lead initiatives to boost alternative fuel substitution (e.g. SRF, MBM)
  • Support decarbonisation and emissions targets in line with net-zero goals
  • Contribute to a multi-year CAPEX and plant debottlenecking programmes
  • Use real-time data from DCS, PI systems, and PXP (FLS expert systems) to analyse plant performance
  • Prepare for the integration of AI-driven predictive control technologies
  • Engage in technical audits and cross-site knowledge sharing
  • Play a key role in future projects like carbon capture, calcined clays, and low-clinker cement innovation

    Requirements:
  • Degree-qualified in chemical engineering, materials science, or a related field
  • Minimum 5 years of cement process experience in a continuous, high-output environment
  • Skilled in kiln operations, clinker quality management, and process data analytics
  • Familiar with emissions targets, sustainability metrics, and energy efficiency initiatives
  • Hands-on experience with DCS/PI/PXP platforms; SCADA or model predictive control is a plus
  • Strong ownership mindset and commitment to continuous improvement
  • Collaborative approach with leadership potential

    Salary & Benefits:
  • £Very Competitive salary depending on experience
  • Annual bonus and private healthcare
  • Pension scheme
  • Relocation support and visa sponsorship may be considered for UK/EU nationals only

Where to Advertise Semiconductor Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising semiconductor jobs in the UK requires a fundamentally different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is one of the smallest and most specialised in any engineering discipline — spanning IC design engineers, process engineers, fab technicians, EDA tool developers, compound semiconductor physicists and power electronics specialists. General job boards are largely ineffective for semiconductor hiring. The community is tight-knit, highly academic in its roots and concentrated around a small number of university groups, fab facilities and design centres. Specialist boards, academic channels and direct community engagement are the primary sourcing strategies that work. This guide, published by SemiconductorJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise semiconductor roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Semiconductor Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Transforming Chip Careers

The semiconductor industry is entering a new era of investment, geopolitical significance, and technological innovation. As advanced chips power everything from artificial intelligence and edge computing to autonomous vehicles and 5G infrastructure, demand for skilled professionals across design, verification, fabrication, and test engineering continues to rise. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.SemiconductorJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are scaling, raising funds, winning contracts, or establishing UK operations is critical. This article highlights the new semiconductor employers to watch in 2026, including UK innovators, major international players expanding locally, and emerging firms driving next‑generation semiconductor technologies.

How Many Semiconductor Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Semiconductor Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in the semiconductor industry, it can feel like you’re expected to master an endless list of tools, software packages and lab equipment before you even submit a CV. One job advert wants experience with TCAD and process simulation, another mentions SPICE and yield tools, while yet another asks for test automation platforms, yield analysis software, hardware description languages, EDA suites and hundreds of others. With so many technical names thrown around, it’s easy to fall into “tool anxiety” — the feeling that you’re behind because you don’t know every piece of software, every lab instrument and every process control suite. Here’s the honest truth most semiconductor hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real engineering problems and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter, absolutely. But they exist to help you deliver measurable results — not to be collected like badges. So how many semiconductor tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer is a lot fewer than you might think — and far more focused on core capabilities than a long checklist. This guide breaks down what employers really value, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you are confident and credible.
