Ready to come off the tools but not step away from the industry?
If you're an experienced Overhead Lines professional looking to stay hands-on without the constant travel and working away, this is your chance to take your career in a new direction.
We're working with a leading technical training provider who is looking for a time-served industry expert to step into an Instructor role—and they'll train you to be a trainer.
This is ideal for someone who:
- Has solid overhead lines experience
- Is physically fit and enjoys practical work
- Wants to be home most nights (Manchester-based 90% of the time)
- Is ready to pass on their knowledge to the next generation
Role Overview
This is not a classroom-heavy role—around 80% of your time will be spent delivering practical, hands-on training as follows:
- Deliver high-quality practical training in overhead line construction & maintenance
- Support classroom-based learning when required
- Design and develop engaging training programmes
- Assess learners against industry standards (NVQ / Diploma / End Point Assessment)
- Ensure all training is delivered safely and in line with legislation
- Work closely with industry clients to meet training needs
- Support learners to achieve recognised qualifications
