Job overview
We are looking for a Technician to provide a safe, effective and efficient technician service for students and staff in our engineering area.
The Engineering Department at UTCN is extremely well resourced: we have fully equipped workshops containing manual lathes/milling machines, 3D printers, laser cutters, Hass CNC machines, welding equipment, virtual welders and an F1 in Schools test track, to list but a small selection. Engineering is the main reason why students come to UTCN and all KS4 students and most KS5 students study engineering. The Engineering Department currently has 7 teaching staff, 1 teaching assistant and 1 technician.
UTCN exists to develop the next generation of engineers and with a fabulous £10m building, £1.3m of specialist equipment, that’s exactly what we have achieved! We have been open seven years and we are one of the top performing UTCs in the country. We have a specialism in engineering, but we also cater for 14-19 age students with interests in Science, Computing and Mathematics. UTCN was graded ‘Good’, by OFSTED, across all areas in May 2019. We have approximately 400 students on roll.
This role is for 37 hours per week on a Term Time plus 3-week basis. The core hours of work will be from 8.15am to 4.15pm (3.45pm on a Friday) with 30-minutes unpaid for lunch: this totals 37 hours per week. There may be some scope to vary these hours slightly.
For the right candidate, there will be the opportunity to take on an instructor role for a number of hours each week. This will mean taking responsibility for the teaching of a group of students studying Practical Engineering. A rate of around £28 per hour will apply for these periods.
If you are:
• Familiar with an engineering environment
• Educated to Level 3 (A Level, NVQ III) or above with high standards of literacy and numeracy
• Organised, a team player and optimistic
• Proficient in IT
• Willing to work hard
• Determined to ensure that UTCN is the top provider of its type in the country
Then we want to hear from you. For further information and to apply, please see our website www.utcn.org.uk
Closing date: 9.00am, Wednesday, Dec 15, 2021 Interviews: Friday, Dec 17, 2021

University Technical Colleges are a new concept in education. They offer 14-19 year olds the opportunity to take a highly regarded, full time, technically-oriented course of study. They are equipped to the highest standard, sponsored by a university and offer clear progression routes into higher education or further learning in work.
The students combine hand and mind to learn in a very practical way, integrating national curriculum requirements with the technical and vocational elements. The UTC ethos and curriculum is heavily influenced by local and national employers who also provide support and work experience for students.
They are sub-regional, taking students from a wide geographical area. This reduces negative impact for any one local school in terms of student roll.
UTCs specialise in subjects that require technical and modern equipment, for example, engineering, product design, health sciences, construction, and land and environmental services.
However they all teach business skills and the use of ICT. The chosen specialism reflects the university's areas of excellence and the needs of local employers.
A fundamental principle of UTCs is that they do not judge students on their past performance. Students are given new opportunities and new ways of learning which allow them to achieve to a higher level than they may have done before.
