Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

We are looking for a 3D Workshop Technician to assist with the preparation and delivery of demonstrations and workshops to staff and students and the management and supervision of specialist kit and equipment in our workshop areas.

You will provide training, guidance and technical advice on the safe use of conventional woodworking machinery and hand tools, to support student learning and be part of a team responsible for maintaining the 3D workshop manufacturing facilities. You will work with senior technical staff to support on and off-site public events, exhibitions, conferences, public lectures and degree shows.

We are looking for a candidate with strong technical and model making skills, using materials such as wood, metal and plastics to craft models. You should be able to demonstrate a keen interest in facilitating student learning and contributing to their creative and technical growth as well as solid organisational and time management capabilities and a dedication to continuous learning.

An understanding of relevant health and safety protocols and their application to the workshop would be beneficial. Experience with the use of CNC routers and tools would also be desirable.

Occasional evening and weekend work may be required.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the student experience and create a safe and accessible environment within the 3D workshops in the faculty.

In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction and development support as well as family-friendly policies.

This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.

If you feel that this is the role you have been looking for and your skills and experience can make a real difference at LJMU, we look forward to hearing from you.
