Job Description

Marine Engineering Lecturer

Permanent

Location: Essex

Salary: up to £42,000 per annum

Are you an experienced marine engineering professional looking to inspire the next generation of technicians and engineers?

About the role

You'll design, plan, deliver and assess engaging marine engineering programmes, 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 students build the knowledge and skills that employers value.

You'll create a positive and supportive learning environment, monitor learner progress and adapt your teaching to meet the needs of a diverse group of students. Working closely with colleagues, you'll help shape and develop the curriculum so it stays current and relevant to the sector.

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

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Designing, planning, delivering and assessing marine engineering programmes across a range of levels.
  • Delivering a mix of practical and theory sessions in the classroom and workshop.
  • Assessing learner work and providing constructive feedback to support progress.
  • Creating a safe, positive and inclusive learning environment.
  • Working with colleagues to develop and review the curriculum.
  • Supporting learners to achieve their qualifications and progress into employment or further study.

What we're looking for

Essential:

  • Relevant industry experience in marine engineering or a related engineering discipline
  • Strong technical knowledge across both practical and theoretical areas
  • The ability to engage, motivate and support learners of differing abilities
  • A commitment to high standards and to learner success

Desirable (but not essential):

  • A teaching qualification, or a willingness to work towards one with the provider's support
  • Previous experience of teaching, training or mentoring
  • An assessing qualification

Ready to shape the next generation of marine engineers?

If you're ready to bring your industry experience into the classroom and help learners build rewarding careers, we'd love to hear from you. Apply today.

What's on Offer

  • Support to move into education and develop as a lecturer
  • Support to work towards teaching qualification
