Job Description

The School of Built Environment, Engineering and Computing at Leeds Beckett University brings together a range of related sectors from built environment and construction; human and natural environments; engineering industries; and computing and IT industries in a dynamic and vibrant setting, with a rapidly growing student cohort. The Engineering Subject Area operates across both the university’s campuses and offers a range of programmes including civil engineering; building services engineering; electronic and electrical engineering; robotics and automation; and engineering management. Courses are industry linked and offered in a variety of modes from full time study, part time study, distance learning options and Degree Apprenticeship schemes. The School also runs franchised programmes with overseas partners in Hong Kong and Nepal.

About the Role

We are seeking to appoint a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer in Electrical and Electronics Engineering with expertise in control and sustainability. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced academic or industry professional looking to contribute to the development and delivery of innovative teaching and research in a dynamic and growing department.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will play a key role in supporting our Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Robotics & Automation and Building Services Engineering programmes, including involvement in the design, development, and delivery of modules, supervision of student projects, and contributing to the academic leadership of the department.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
