Are you an experienced Cable Jointer from an electricity transmission or distribution background looking to come off the tools and move into a structured, long-term career?
Do you have experience working on electricity networks within a DNO, transmission/distribution contractor or major power and energy organisation and want to use that knowledge to develop the next generation of engineers?
This organisation is one of the UK's leading technical training providers within the energy and utilities sector. Working closely with major industry companies, they deliver specialist training across electricity distribution and transmission, investing heavily in modern facilities, equipment and instructor development to ensure their training reflects real-world industry standards.
In this role, you will support and deliver training across LV and 11kV cable jointing, assist with technical power engineering qualifications and assess learners against national standards. You will play a key role in developing engineers entering and progressing within the electricity transmission and distribution industry while building your own long-term career within training and education.
Full training and support will be provided, including teaching and assessor qualifications, so previous teaching experience is not required.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced Cable Jointer who can demonstrate direct experience within electricity transmission and distribution environments. You may have worked directly for a DNO or major electricity network, power or energy organisation, or for a contractor delivering cable jointing activities within these environments.
Candidates from organisations such as Northern Powergrid, SSE, Siemens Energy or similar electricity network and energy businesses would be particularly relevant.
Please note that this position requires direct electricity transmission/distribution experience. Rail power, telecommunications power or other power-related disciplines alone are not considered directly transferable unless accompanied by relevant electricity T&D experience.
