Ready to Share Your Knowledge and Shape the Future of Engineering?
If you've built a career in engineering, manufacturing, machining, welding, or mechatronics and are now looking for a new and rewarding challenge, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
We’re looking for a CAD (Computer Aided Design) Instructor with experience in either machining, welding & fabrication or mechatronics, to share their real-world expertise with the next generation of engineers and technicians.

Why Become a Trainer with Us?
Make a Difference: Help shape the future of the engineering industry by teaching essential skills and knowledge to eager apprentices.
Share Your Expertise: Your hands-on experience will give learners valuable insights into what it’s really like working in the industry.

Work-Life Balance: Benefit from structured hours and a rewarding career where you can still be hands-on, but in a more flexible and balanced environment.
The Role:
Deliver high-quality, engaging instruction in CAD techniques. Inspire and guide learners through practical skills development and theoretical knowledge.
Assess learners' progress, providing constructive feedback and support to help them achieve their potential.
Work with the team to continually improve and innovate our apprenticeship programmes.

Experience in a hands-on engineering or manufacturing role, with expertise in CAD design and/or machining, welding, fabrication, or mechatronics.
A passion for your craft and a desire to pass on your knowledge to others.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to connect with learners of all abilities.
