Technical Tutor | Training Academy, | £50,000 - £55,000 per annum

You've spent years on site. You've commissioned the systems, fixed what others couldn't and learned things no textbook teaches. Now imagine passing all of that on.

Our client, the UK's leading security company, is looking for an experienced Fire & Security engineer to step off the tools and into the classroom at their training academy in Derby.
