Process Engineer

Westlakes Recruit are currently recruiting for a Process Engineer to be engaged on a hybrid basis.

Job Overview:
A unique opportunity has arisen for a Process Engineer to join a forward-thinking team working on some of the most significant energy projects in the UK and Europe, small modular reactor (SMR) development and working towards Poland's first energy station.
You'll play a key role in optimising and documenting complex processes, supporting programme delivery throughout the full project lifecycle. If you're passionate about innovation, collaboration, and high standards in a regulated environment, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyse and optimise business processes across complex projects
• Create clear process flows (e.g., using MS Visio)
• Develop and document procedures and work instructions
• Identify best practices and drive continuous improvement
• Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders

Requirements:

• Engineering Degree, Apprenticeship, NVQ, HNC/HND (preferably in STEM fields or other relevant disciplines) - or relevant, demonstrable, experience
• Interpersonal skills and ability to influence internal and external stakeholders

• Experience in process engineering within complex or regulated industries (nuclear or commissioning experience is a plus)
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
• Strong communication and relationship-building abilities
• Proficient in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
• Experience in the nuclear industry is beneficial but not essential

Why We're Different:
Westlakes Recruit are a people solutions business that understands the complexities of nuclear and the importance of our clients' mission critical objectives.

Smarter, faster, more agile - we have a laser focus on nuclear, with deep sectoral knowledge. We develop nuclear talent pools before you know you need them!

We do Nuclear. We only do Nuclear. We do all of Nuclear.

Powering a Diverse Nuclear Future:
As an equal opportunities business, we value applications from all backgrounds, cultures and abilities.
