What We're Looking For

Essential:

  • A minimum NVQ Level 3 in mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline
  • Relevant industry experience within an engineering environment
  • Strong communication and organisational skills
  • A genuine interest in sharing your knowledge and supporting learner success

Desirable (but not essential):

  • An HNC or higher in mechanical engineering
  • A recognised teaching qualification

If you're ready to pass your engineering expertise on to the next generation, we'd love to hear from you.
