Job description

HNC/HND Engineering Lecturer – Mechanical or Electrical

Coventry

Full-time

We’re looking for an experienced Engineering Lecturer / Engineer to deliver HNC and HND level engineering programmes, with opportunities available across Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

This is a primarily classroom-based role, focused on delivering the engineering theory, mathematics and principles that underpin a successful engineering career.

You’ll be teaching learners who are progressing through higher-level engineering qualifications, helping them understand the theory behind the systems, processes and technologies they encounter in industry.

The Role

You’ll deliver engaging, technically accurate teaching across HNC/HND Engineering programmes, covering areas such as:

• Engineering Principles
• Mechanical Engineering Principles
• Electrical and Electronic Principles
• Technical problem solving
• Applied engineering theory

The role will involve:

• Planning and delivering classroom-based HNC/HND lessons
• Teaching complex engineering theory and principles in a clear and practical way
• Developing lesson plans, presentations and learning resources
• Supporting learners with assignments, projects and technical development
• Assessing learner work and providing constructive feedback
• Monitoring learner progress and supporting successful completion of their qualifications
• Linking engineering theory to real-world industrial applications
• Keeping subject knowledge and teaching content aligned with current engineering practice
• Creating a positive, professional and engaging learning environment

About You

You’ll have a strong technical background and be confident delivering higher-level engineering theory to learners.

You could currently be working as an:

Alternatively, you may be an experienced engineer who has moved into technical training and now wants to focus on higher-level classroom delivery.

You’ll need:

• A relevant HNC, HND, degree or equivalent higher-level engineering qualification
• Strong technical knowledge in either Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• A good understanding of Engineering Mathematics, Science and Principles
• Experience working in engineering, education, training or technical delivery
• The ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Teaching or training qualification such as PGCE, Cert Ed, DTLLS or equivalent
• Experience within Further Education
• Assessor or IQA qualification
• Experience developing engineering learning materials and assessments

Teaching qualifications are not essential if you have the right engineering background and experience. Full support can be provided to gain a recognised teaching qualification.

What’s on Offer

• Primarily classroom-based delivery
• Fully funded teaching qualification where required
• Professional development and career progression
• The opportunity to teach at HNC/HND level rather than solely entry-level programmes
• A chance to bring your engineering experience into the development of the next generation of engineers

If you’re an experienced Mechanical or Electrical Engineer, Engineering Lecturer or Technical Trainer with the knowledge to deliver higher-level engineering theory, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
