Would you like to work with a skilled team of professional people that are committed to developing the next generation of Engineers? Do you want to help shape the way young people are educated in trade skills? 

We are currently looking for an Engineering Workshop Instructor to help shape and deliver an innovative Engineering curriculum.

The successful candidate will hold a level 4 HNC or degree in a relevant subject area, or have appropriate industry experience, and be willing to work towards a teaching qualification.

This role will make a considerable contribution to the co-ordination of workshop planning, delivery and assessment, as well as general machinery repair and maintenance to ensure compliance with health and safety. The broad purpose of the role is to provide instruction and technical support for learners and apprentices across our level 2 and level 3 pathways. The role is to ensure development of workshop skills and equipment to meet education and industry 4.0 for future engineering projects and initiatives. 

To be successful in either post, you will need to be able to demonstrate good planning, and a commitment to delivering high quality learning experiences of machinery utilization and the ability to maintain workshop machinery.  The successful candidate will be able to use a range of tools and techniques to support decision making and solve problems that are often complex and non-routine.
