HNC Engineering Assessor

Temporary

Start date: October 2026

Are you an experienced engineering professional looking to support learners through higher-level qualifications?

About the Role

You'll join an education provider as an HNC Engineering Assessor, working with learners studying towards their HNC in engineering and assessing their progress against the standards.

You'll plan and carry out assessments, give clear feedback that helps learners move forward, and keep accurate records of evidence and achievement. You'll also work closely with employers and colleagues to make sure each learner stays on track to complete.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Assessing learners' work and evidence against HNC engineering criteria.
  • Planning assessment activity and agreeing clear actions with each learner.
  • Reviewing progress regularly and supporting learners at risk of falling behind.
  • Providing constructive feedback that helps learners improve.
  • Maintaining accurate assessment and portfolio records.
  • Working with employers and internal quality assurance colleagues to support timely completion.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A relevant engineering qualification and strong technical background
  • Experience of assessing or supporting learners at higher level
  • Good organisational skills and accurate record keeping
  • Clear communication skills with learners and employers

Desirable (but not essential):

  • An assessor award or teaching qualification

If you're ready to put your engineering experience to work supporting the next generation of technicians, we'd love to hear from you.
