Job Description

Machining Lecturer

Temporary

Location: the South East

Are you an experienced machinist looking to pass your technical expertise on to the next generation of engineers?

About the Role

As a Machining Lecturer, you'll teach and assess learners on machining and engineering programmes at a further education provider, helping them build the practical skills, technical knowledge and confidence they need to progress into industry.

You'll deliver practical workshop sessions alongside classroom-based theory, covering machining operations such as CNC, lathe, milling and turning, and you'll track learner progress throughout their programme.

If you don't yet hold a teaching qualification, this could still be the role for you. Our client welcomes applications from industry professionals and offers support to help you move into teaching.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Teaching and assessing learners on machining and engineering programmes.
  • Delivering practical workshop sessions alongside classroom-based theory.
  • Covering machining operations including CNC, lathe, milling and turning.
  • Supporting curriculum delivery, assessment and learning resources.
  • Monitoring, recording and tracking learner progress.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • Level 3 qualification in mechanical engineering, manufacturing or machining, or equivalent
  • Strong practical and technical knowledge of machining operations
  • Enthusiasm for supporting and motivating learners

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A recognised teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one
  • An assessor qualification
  • Previous experience of teaching, assessing or instructing learners

If you're ready to pass your machining expertise on to the engineers of the future, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Support to gain teaching qualification if not already held
