Job description

Your experience could spark someone else’s career

Whether you’re an electrical teacher looking for a fresh opportunity or a licensed electrician ready to take your mentoring skills further, this is a chance to put your experience to good use.

Based in Cairns, you’ll join an established teaching team helping students develop the practical skills, technical knowledge and safe work habits they’ll need throughout their careers.

You’ll have timetables planned well in advance, time allocated for preparation and administration, and experienced colleagues to work alongside.

What your week will involve

You’ll lead practical workshop sessions and classroom learning, explain electrical concepts and help students connect the theory to what happens on the job.

Alongside delivering training, you’ll assess competency, provide constructive feedback, prepare lessons and keep student records up to date. You’ll also contribute to training resources and help maintain a safe, engaging learning environment.

Your weekly structure includes 21 teaching contact hours, 11 hours for administration and 4.25 hours of discretionary preparation time, which can be completed on or off campus.

Cairns will be your home campus. Some regional travel may be required, with work travel, accommodation and meals covered.

What you’ll bring

• Certificate III in Electrotechnology, a relevant current electrical work licence and recent industry experience
• Ideally, a recognised training and assessment qualification completed or currently underway
• Clear communication skills and the patience to help students work through unfamiliar concepts
• Sound digital literacy and numeracy, with confidence learning systems and maintaining records
• An approachable manner, a collaborative attitude and flexibility to travel when required

Already teaching? Bring your training and assessment experience, contribute your ideas and continue developing your practice within an experienced team.

Considering your first teaching role? If you’ve enjoyed training apprentices, explaining technical work or helping colleagues improve, we’d like to hear from you. Applicants who hold their TAE or are currently completing it are preferred.

A supported entry pathway may also be considered for suitable tradespeople who haven’t yet started.

Structured induction, practical mentoring and a dedicated educator support team will help you find your feet and build confidence in the role.
