REACH / INDUS Engineer

Location: Slough, Berkshire

Salary: £42,000 - £45,000 per annum

Job Type: Permanent, Full-Time

About the Company

Our client is a leading engineering and manufacturing organisation and a subsidiary of a global business. Operating within a highly regulated environment, they supply specialist products and solutions to aerospace and industrial markets worldwide.

Due to continued growth, they are seeking a REACH / INDUS Engineer to join their engineering team based in Slough.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer with experience in REACH compliance, materials and process management, industrialisation, manufacturing engineering, or continuous improvement to play a key role in supporting both product compliance and manufacturing excellence.

The Role

The REACH / INDUS Engineer will support compliance with REACH regulations and customer requirements while driving industrialisation activities across manufacturing operations. The role will involve working closely with Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain, Manufacturing, and external suppliers to ensure materials, processes, and products remain compliant while supporting operational efficiency and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support compliance with REACH, RoHS, and other applicable environmental and regulatory requirements.
  • Maintain and manage material compliance data and documentation.
  • Liaise with suppliers to obtain material declarations, compliance certificates, and technical information.
  • Assess the impact of regulatory changes on products, materials, and manufacturing processes.
  • Support customer enquiries relating to material compliance and environmental regulations.
  • Maintain records and documentation to support customer, regulatory, and audit requirements.
  • Assist with material substitution and obsolescence management programmes.
  • Support the introduction of new products into manufacturing.
  • Develop and improve manufacturing processes to enhance efficiency, quality, and productivity.
  • Work closely with suppliers to ensure compliance and technical requirements are met.

Candidate Requirements

  • HNC, HND, Degree, or equivalent experience in Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Materials Engineering, Chemistry, Environmental Compliance, or a related discipline.
  • Experience working within aerospace, defence, automotive, electronics, or other regulated manufacturing environments.
  • Experience with REACH, RoHS, environmental compliance, or materials management.
  • Experience supporting manufacturing engineering, industrialisation, or process improvement activities.
  • Understanding of REACH and environmental compliance regulations.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes and industrialisation principles.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
  • Strong organisational and project coordination abilities.

If you are an experienced REACH, Compliance, Manufacturing, or Industrialisation Engineer looking for a varied role that combines regulatory compliance, engineering, and process improvement, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Where to Advertise Materials Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise materials science jobs UK in 2026: specialist boards, academic channels and societies that reach physicists, chemists and metallurgists. The candidate pool spans physicists, chemists, metallurgists, ceramicists, polymer scientists and computational materials researchers — a highly multidisciplinary community with distinct professional identities, academic networks and job search behaviours. The strongest candidates are typically embedded in university research groups, national laboratories, government-funded programmes or deep tech R&D teams, and move between roles through specialist academic channels, professional societies and sector-specific networks rather than mainstream job boards. This guide, published by MaterialsScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise materials science 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.

Materials Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Materials Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK materials science hiring over the next three years — from batteries to composites. Materials science sits at the foundation of almost every technology transition that matters right now. The batteries powering the electric vehicle revolution, the semiconductors enabling artificial intelligence, the lightweight composites reducing aircraft emissions, the biomaterials replacing damaged human tissue, the thin films making solar cells more efficient — none of these advances are possible without breakthroughs in the science and engineering of materials. And breakthroughs in materials science require people. The UK materials science jobs market has historically been one of the quieter corners of the STEM hiring landscape — important, deeply technical, and consistently in demand, but rarely the subject of the breathless coverage that AI or blockchain attract. That relative obscurity is beginning to change. The convergence of the net zero transition, the semiconductor sovereignty agenda, the advanced manufacturing investment wave, and the growing role of computational and AI-driven materials discovery is elevating materials science to a strategic priority for governments, investors, and employers in a way that is directly reshaping the jobs market. For job seekers, this shift represents a genuine opportunity — but one that rewards those who understand the specific technical, commercial, and policy dynamics driving materials science hiring rather than those who simply arrive with a materials science degree and expect the market to do the rest. The roles being created now are more interdisciplinary, more computationally demanding, and more commercially oriented than the materials science jobs of even three years ago. This article breaks down what the UK materials science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of a discipline that has never been more consequential.
