About the Role

As an Engineering Technical Instructor, you'll deliver practical, hands-on training to learners developing their skills in electrical and electronic engineering. Working alongside a wider teaching team, you'll help students build the technical competence and confidence they need to progress into industry or further study.

You'll bring your workshop knowledge to life, guiding learners through practical tasks, demonstrating techniques and supporting them as they work towards their qualifications. This is an ideal role for an industry professional who wants to move into education and share what they know.

Your responsibilities will include:

Delivering practical instruction and demonstrations in electrical and electronic engineering.

Supporting learners as they develop the technical skills required for their programmes.

Preparing workshop equipment, materials and resources ahead of sessions.

Assessing learners' practical work and providing constructive feedback.

Maintaining a safe, well-organised and productive workshop environment.

Working with colleagues to help learners achieve their qualifications and progress.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

A strong background in electrical or electronic engineering, gained through industry experience

A Relevant Level 3 engineering qualification

The ability to explain technical concepts clearly and support learners of differing abilities

A commitment to high standards of health and safety in a workshop setting

Desirable (but not essential):

Previous experience of teaching, training or mentoring

A teaching or assessing qualification

If you don't yet have teaching experience, that's not a barrier. Our client welcomes applications from industry professionals and can offer support including teacher training, mentoring and ongoing development to help you succeed in the classroom and workshop.

Inspire the next generation of engineers

If you're ready to bring your engineering expertise into education, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today and help learners build the skills for a rewarding career.
