E3 Recruitment’s Chemical & Process Division provides specialist recruitment support to organisations operating across chemical manufacturing, process engineering, and regulated industrial environments.
We work closely with businesses involved in chemical production, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, energy-related processes, and advanced manufacturing, helping them secure skilled professionals who can operate effectively within complex and safety-critical settings.
With a deep understanding of chemical and process industries, E3 Recruitment delivers tailored recruitment solutions across permanent, contract, and interim roles. Our approach is grounded in sector knowledge, market insight, and a clear understanding of the operational challenges faced by process-led organisations, including skills shortages, compliance pressures, and evolving production technologies.
Our dedicated Chemical & Process recruitment team supports a wide range of scientific, engineering, and project-based disciplines. This includes roles within research and development, batch and continuous processing environments, process optimisation, maintenance and reliability, capital projects, and site leadership. By aligning technical capability with cultural and operational fit, we ensure candidates are positioned to add long-term value, not just fill vacancies.
We bring extensive experience working within highly regulated process environments, supported by a strong working knowledge of key regulatory frameworks such as REACH, ATEX, COMAH, and GMP. This understanding allows us to accurately assess candidate suitability for safety-critical roles and ensures our clients meet both operational and compliance requirements.
E3 Recruitment’s sector-focused approach means we go beyond CV matching. We provide insight into talent availability, salary benchmarking, workforce planning, and candidate attraction strategies tailored specifically to chemical and process industries. This enables our clients to make informed hiring decisions and build resilient, future-ready teams.
By combining industry knowledge with proven recruitment delivery, E3 Recruitment acts as a trusted partner for chemical and process organisations, supporting growth, stability, and performance across technically demanding and regulated environments.
Toni and James have a good understanding of our business and the type of candidate who will thrive in our environment, they provide excellent quality of candidates who are always well briefed for the process. All of the consultants I have dealt with at E3 are always very helpful, Hayden is excellent at keeping me appraised of developments regarding candidates and Sean is always happy to assist when his colleagues are not available.
