Job Description

Marine Engineering Lead Lecturer

Permanent
Location: the East of England
Salary: Up to £54,000

Are you an experienced marine engineering professional ready to lead a teaching team and inspire the next generation of technicians and engineers?

About the role

You'll lead the delivery of marine engineering programmes for a further education provider, combining practical workshop teaching with the underpinning theory learners need to succeed. Working across a range of levels, you'll bring your industry experience into the classroom and workshop, helping learners build the knowledge and skills that employers value.

As lead lecturer, you'll take responsibility for the quality and development of the curriculum, guiding and supporting colleagues to deliver teaching that stays current and relevant to the sector. You'll create a positive and supportive learning environment, monitor learner progress and adapt teaching to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners.

If you come from industry rather than teaching, that's welcome. Our client offers support to help you move into education and develop in your role.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading the design, planning, delivery and assessment of marine engineering programmes across a range of levels.
  • Delivering a mix of practical workshop teaching and underpinning theory.
  • Guiding and supporting colleagues to maintain high standards of teaching and learning.
  • Shaping and developing the curriculum so it stays current and relevant to the sector.
  • Monitoring learner progress and adapting teaching to meet the needs of a diverse group of learners.
  • Creating a positive and supportive learning environment.

What we're looking for

Essential:

  • Significant experience in the marine engineering sector
  • Strong practical and technical knowledge relevant to the curriculum
  • The ability to lead, guide and support a teaching team
  • A commitment to helping learners build the knowledge and skills that employers value
  • Experience of teaching, training or assessing in a further education setting

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A relevant teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one

If you're ready to lead a team and inspire the next generation of marine engineers, we'd love to hear from you.

What's on Offer

  • Support to move into education and develop in role
  • Teaching qualification support available
