Design & Build – Breweries, Distilleries & Beverage Production

I am recruiting a Process Engineer for a specialist engineering consultancy that designs, engineers and delivers complete brewery, distillery and beverage manufacturing facilities across the UK and internationally.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a team that supports clients from concept through to commissioning, working on state-of-the-art production sites and process equipment.

You’ll be involved in developing process designs, producing PFDs and P&IDs, performing mass and energy balances, selecting equipment, and supporting installation and commissioning activities.

Typical equipment and process areas include:



Fermentation vessels

*

Brewhouses / mash tuns / lauter tuns

*

Distillation columns

*

Mixing and blending systems

*

CIP systems

*

Filtration and separation equipment

*

Packaging lines and utilities

Key responsibilities:

*

Process design from concept through detailed design

*

Producing process documentation (PFDs, P&IDs, datasheets)

*

Equipment specification and vendor liaison

*

Supporting HAZOPs and design reviews

*

Providing commissioning and start-up support on client sites

*

Working closely with mechanical, electrical and automation teams

Ideal candidate:

*

Degree-qualified Process/Chemical Engineer (or similar)

*

Experience in breweries, distilleries, beverage manufacturing, dairy or food & drink process environments

*

Familiar with hygienic process design and relevant industry standards

*

Strong understanding of fermentation, distillation or liquid processing

*

Experience with project engineering and/or commissioning is highly desirable

*

Passion for the beverage industry and modern production technology

This is a great opportunity for someone looking to grow their technical and project skills while contributing to major design-and-build projects in a booming industry. The company offers excellent development opportunities and the chance to work on high-profile client sites

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.
