You understand electrical engineering. Now help students build the knowledge, skill, and confidence to use it well.
Engineering needs people who can think, solve problems, and apply technical knowledge with confidence.
That starts with good teaching.

Your focus will include electrical power, helping students understand the principles, systems, and professional standards that sit behind good engineering practice.
You bring strong technical knowledge, current industry understanding, and the ability to help learners connect theory with real engineering work.
What you'll do
- Teach Electrical and Electronic Engineering programmes from Level 3 to higher-level study.
- Deliver practical and theory-based learning with a focus on electrical power.
- Help students understand engineering principles, systems, and workplace expectations.
- Use your industry experience to make learning current and relevant.
- Assess learner progress and give clear feedback that helps students improve.
- Maintain accurate records of attendance, assessment, progress, and achievement.
- Support learners to progress into apprenticeships, employment, further study, or higher education.
- Contribute to curriculum development, programme review, and quality improvement.
- Work with colleagues to keep specialist learning environments safe, organised, and effective.
- Support Open Evenings, recruitment activity, and college events where required.
