About The Role
As part of this exciting project, we have recently added to our construction provision by launching two apprenticeships (Level 4 and Level 6) in civil engineering and are looking for an individual with an innovative and disruptive approach to civil engineering and construction education who will develop and drive forward strategies to attract and retain a diverse range of people to our courses. The successful candidate will be committed to leading courses which will develop graduates with the skills and behaviours required by an engineer in the 21st century.
As such we are seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer with expertise in Civil Engineering and particularly structural engineering or hydraulics to lead the BEng(Hons) and contribute to the teaching of the Construction portfolio which also includes Construction Management and Quantity Surveying. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience using innovative, industry relevant and engaging teaching techniques which focus on non-technical skills development as much as technical. A Degree plus PhD is required, and/or Chartered Engineer Status with a relevant institution (ICE, IStructE, IHE, CIHT)
Informal enquiries can be made to Esther Norton, Assistant Principal, at esther.norton@aru.ac.uk.
