Job Description

Fab & Weld Lecturer

Temporary | Contract

Are you an experienced fabrication and welding professional looking to pass your skills on to the next generation?

About the Role

As a Fab & Weld Lecturer, you'll join a further education provider to deliver practical and theoretical teaching to learners working towards fabrication and welding qualifications. Whether you've taught before or you're currently working in industry, your technical knowledge is what matters most.

You'll teach in both workshop and classroom settings, supporting learners to build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the trade.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering high-quality practical fabrication and welding training.
  • Teaching the theory that underpins safe and effective engineering practice.
  • Supporting learners and apprentices to achieve their qualifications.
  • Assessing progress and providing constructive feedback.
  • Creating a safe, inclusive and engaging learning environment.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in Fabrication & Welding or a closely related discipline
  • Industry experience within fabrication and welding
  • A genuine interest in developing others and sharing your knowledge

Desirable (but not essential):

  • Teaching qualification
  • Experience delivering apprenticeship training
  • Assessing or IQA qualifications

No teaching experience? That's not a barrier — we welcome applications from industry professionals, with mentoring and ongoing development available to help you make the move into teaching.

Shape the Next Generation of Welders

If you're ready to use your industry experience to build future careers, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Mentoring and ongoing development available
  • Support to transition from industry to teaching
