Engineering Skills and Development Co-ordinator

We are looking for an enthusiastic engineer to join our rapidly growing team. This is an exciting opportunity to work in our engineering and manufacturing training centre, which has had significant investment in the last two years. This role will centre on the delivery of apprenticeships, including taking a lead on assessing in the workplace, liaising with employers and assisting learners in their development. In addition you may be involved with delivering programmes for apprentices and/or and vocational learners along with the responsibility for further developing our qualifications and commercial business in this sector. 

The ideal candidate will have an engineering background in either mechanical, precision or aerospace manufacturing alongside knowledge of computer-aided manufacturing and computer aided design. An understanding of ISO900 or AS9100 and engineering quality assurance would be an advantage, as would previous experience of welding and fabrication processes. Ideally, you would have relevant and recent teaching and industrial experience, hold A1 assessor status (or equivalent) or be willing to work towards this. You will be familiar with awarding bodies such as EAL and C&G, have good understanding of modern manufacturing technology and processes and an ability to motivate, support and encourage learners at all levels. A full clean driving licence and your own transport is essential, as a significant part of the role will be to visit employers and apprentices in the workplace.
