An exciting opportunity has arisen within the University of Lincoln’s School of Engineering and Physical Sciences for a Technical Tutor in Engineering.

The School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Lincoln is a diverse community of students and staff who work together to advance knowledge and understanding across a broad spectrum of disciplines, including engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics. Since its founding, the School has collaborated on ground-breaking initiatives, working with local SMEs and national employers to continuously seek to develop its education portfolio, transformative research, and knowledge exchange for the 21st century.

Our research includes several important research groupings across subject areas including Laboratory of Vision Engineering (LoVE): https://www.visioneng.org.uk/ , Centre for Computational Physics: https://comp-physics-lincoln.org/ and Sustainable Energy and Power Research Group: https://www.lincoln.ac.uk/engphys/engineeringresearch/sustainableenergyandpower/ .

The School seeks a Technical Tutor with practical skills in building and supporting applied engineering workshop facilities and laboratories. The post would be of particular interest for candidates interested in strengthening our practical teaching support. Crucially, the postholder will also support external learners taking short courses and CPD bootcamps, aligning with regional defence and aerospace manufacturing needs. This role is a critical component of a newly funded 5-year OfS project focused on the expansion and enhancement of our Mechanical and Aero‑mechanical Engineering programmes.

Responsibilities for the post include delivering practical undergraduate sessions and ensuring sustained student access to expanded workshop facilities while adhering strictly to health and safety requirements. Successful applicants will have demonstrable technical experience and be able to support the School’s engineering curricula and mentor students in high‑reliability environments. The technical tutor will be guided and mentored by the academics leading the project.

This post is based at the University’s Brayford campus.

Interviews will be held on the 9th and 10th September 2026.
