My Client is recruiting for a Senior/Principal Process Engineer in the Water Sector

About The Role:

Working on Municipal Water Projects into AMP8, we are looking to strengthen our Engineering team with a Senior/Principal Process Engineer. You will report directly to the Regional Discipline Lead (Process), which will catalyse your development.

Our challenging programme of work, across a variety of water and wastewater schemes is expected to be in the region of £400M.

Offering hybrid working conditions and competitive remuneration packages, we strive to create and deliver practical, sustainable outcomes. Our engineers pioneer and perfect demonstrable solutions, whilst the variety and interest in our work provides a platform to allow our people to continue to master their subject and build fruitful and purposeful careers.

As Senior/Principal Process Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

To produce high quality standard process design document and drawings, such as process calculations, P&IDs, PFD, Control Philosophy, taking due account of health & safety requirements, specifications and standards pertaining to the contract;
To meet the regulations and the client standards requirements on each of your project;
To conduct and co-ordinate studies related to Process Safety which is a critical element of our design and requirement from our client;
To work and co-ordinate the design with the other disciplines (civil, mechanical, EICA, environmental) for producing a complete design on your different projects;
To assist the other disciplines in their design production and technical specifications with any input related to process and Process Safety. Being at the inferface of all the discipline, this includes to develop trust and synergy between all the members of the team;
To provide active support to the delivery, commissioning and the management teams on technical issues with the best effective solution;
To provide feedback to your Regional Discipline Lead and the Design Manager of each of your project;
To provide effective design which considers the whole out turn cost of the solution, which include including design time costs, material costs, erection costs and any impact that the design solution might have on other disciplines;
Assist the design manager on the different deliverables at different design stage;
To mentor graduates by providing support and help during their development scheme;
To Maintain files and records throughout the duration of contracts;
To Assist the management team to instil a culture where satisfying the customer is recognized as the key to achieving other objectives, and that customers include everyone receiving benefit from our processes, whether end users or other departments within the company;
To ensure that design takes full regard of all health and safety requirements.Experience and Qualifications:

Engineering Degree/HNC/HND in Chemical or Process Engineering or Similar
Knowledge of clean water, wastewater, re-use and/or sludge treatment process design
Proven track record of developing process calculations such as mass balance, energy balance, hydraulic calculations
Ability to think clearly under pressure
Autonomy and organised for meeting deadlines and milestone on projects
Ability to communicate within and outside of the project and the process team
Ability to rationalise designs and produce economic process design
Team working capacity

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.

Neurodiversity in Semiconductor Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Semiconductors sit quietly at the heart of everything: phones, cars, medical devices, satellites, data centres & everyday appliances. Behind every chip are people designing circuits, running fabs, testing wafers, modelling devices & solving problems most users never see. Those people are not all “textbook” engineers – & that’s a good thing. If you’re neurodivergent (for example living with ADHD, autism or dyslexia), you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a high-precision, high-reliability industry. In reality, many of the traits that made school or traditional offices hard can be huge strengths in semiconductor work: intense focus on detail, pattern-spotting in test data, creative thinking around yield & process issues. This guide is written for semiconductor job seekers in the UK. We’ll cover: What neurodiversity means in a semiconductor context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to chip & fab roles Workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in the semiconductor industry – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Semiconductor Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the semiconductor jobs market is in that awkward phase of being both overheated and cautious. Global chip demand is booming again, driven by AI, data centres, automotive, defence, 5G and consumer electronics. Fab capacity is set to hit record highs as new plants come online worldwide. At the same time, we are seeing: Waves of investment and hiring in some regions and companies. Restructuring and layoffs in others, as firms rebalance portfolios and chase AI margins. A deepening global skills shortage, with forecasts of major shortfalls in engineers and technicians by 2030. For the UK, the sector is small but strategically vital. The National Semiconductor Strategy, public funding and participation in European chip programmes are all aimed at building domestic capability in design, compound semiconductors and advanced manufacturing. So what does all this mean for semiconductor jobs in 2026 – and for employers trying to recruit in a brutally competitive market?
