Descripción del empleo

Have you built a successful career in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration now starting to think about what's next? Teaching already but need a change?

• Really supportive and energised team
• Great benefits and environment
• Excellent Facilities

If you're looking for a role with better work-life balance, less physical demand and the opportunity to give back to the trade, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

Join one of Australia's leading vocational education providers and use your industry experience to help develop the next generation of refrigeration and air conditioning professionals. You'll combine your practical knowledge with hands‑on teaching, helping apprentices and students build the skills and confidence needed for successful careers.

Whether you're already qualified to teach or are looking to transition into training, we'd love to hear from you.

Why You'll Love This Role

This is an opportunity to continue working in the industry you're passionate about while enjoying a better lifestyle. You'll leave the physical demands of daily site work behind and enjoy the satisfaction of helping future tradespeople succeed.

When you join the team, you'll enjoy:

• Excellent salary plus an outstanding 17% superannuation
• Predictable working hours that support genuine work-life balance
• Approximately 720 teaching hours per year, leaving more time for planning, development and student support
• Four weeks annual leave plus an additional two weeks vocational education leave
• Outstanding professional development and ongoing training
• A collaborative, inclusive and supportive workplace
• Work alongside experienced educators and industry specialists
• The opportunity to make a lasting impact on the future of the trade
• Fixed‑term full‑time opportunity with the potential for extension

About the Role

Every day you'll help apprentices build the practical skills, knowledge and confidence they'll carry throughout their careers.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Delivering engaging practical and classroom‑based training
• Assessing student competency and providing constructive feedback
• Supporting apprentices and students throughout their learning journey
• Maintaining strong industry relevance within training programs
• Helping students develop the skills, confidence and professionalism needed for successful careers

You’ll be supported by an experienced education team, with teaching resources, mentoring and professional development available to help you transition into the role if you’re new to teaching.

About You

This role would suit someone who takes pride in their trade, enjoys sharing their knowledge and wants to help shape the next generation of technicians.

Ideally, you’ll have:

• Current industry experience in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
• Certificate III and IV in Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
• Full Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Licence
• Certificate IV in Training & Assessment (TAE40122 or equivalent), or a willingness to obtain it
• Strong communication skills and the ability to mentor and inspire others
• A genuine passion for developing the future workforce

Previous teaching experience is welcomed but certainly not essential. If you’ve supervised apprentices, trained junior technicians or enjoy passing on your knowledge, you’ll already have many of the skills needed to succeed.

Ready for Your Next Chapter?

If you’ve ever thought,"I’d love to give something back to the trade," this is your opportunity.

Please note: Appointment will be subject to the successful completion of Working with Children and National Police checks.
