Company Information
Train’d Up is a growing UK apprenticeship provider specialising in Engineering and Rail qualifications. With a strong reputation for high quality, compliance, and learner success, we are expanding our delivery capacity across engineering disciplines to meet sector demand and support learners to excel under apprenticeship standards.
We're searching for two Engineering Apprenticeship Assessors to join our growing team. You can either be based in the West Midlands or in the North East of England to cover our clients based in your area.
Role Purpose
The Engineering Assessor ensures high-quality professional delivery and assessment across Levels 2, 3 & 4 apprenticeship standards. You will work directly with apprentices and employers to support delivery of the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) required by the standards, guiding learners from induction through to end-point assessment.
We encourage applications from experienced assessors/educators and industry-qualified engineers interested in transitioning into training. You must be IT literate, comfortable with travel to employer sites, and committed to excellent learner outcomes.
Key Responsibilities

- Support and assess apprentices using blended learning (workplace, classroom, remote) to deliver the full suite of KSBs.
- Provide ongoing guidance, coaching, and pastoral support to learners.
- Carry out workplace visits, reviews, and progress meetings with learners and employers.
- Prepare learners for end-point assessments, mock assessments, and final qualification assessments.
- Assess, monitor, and document progress against training plans and standards.
- Identify skills gaps and recommend developmental actions or interventions.
