About the Role
Are you an experienced Refrigeration & Air Conditioning engineer looking to step off the tools and shape the next generation of engineers? Or an established Lecturer/Assessor looking for a new challenge?
We are looking for a passionate and knowledgeable Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Lecturer / Assessor to deliver high-quality teaching, practical training, and assessment to our apprentices and commercial learners. You’ll play a key role in delivering Level 2 and Level 3 RACHP apprenticeship qualifications, F gas, hydrocarbon, brazing and more general refrigeration and air-conditioning short courses, guiding students from fundamental principles to real-world workshop applications.
Key Responsibilities

- Assess & Support: Conduct college-based assessments, tracking student progress against apprenticeship standards and course learning outcomes.
- Curriculum Delivery: Help design and update course materials to align with the latest industry standards and F-Gas regulations.
- Mentorship: Support learners in developing strong, safe, and professional habits for the workforce.
- Compliance & Safety: Maintain high health and safety standards in the workshop and ensure full compliance with awarding body standards.
