Job description

Come Off the Tools. Build the Next Generation of Fire & Security Engineers.

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. You'll turn your hard-earned knowledge into the skills, confidence and professionalism of their apprentices, and shape the future of the industry.

Why this role?

Your experience is the qualification. They want someone who has done the job and can show apprentices what good looks like.

• Build engineers from the ground up. You'll train apprentices to the FESS Level 3 Standard and see them grow from trainees into capable, confident engineers.
• Leave a legacy. Employees who started as trainees now head up key departments. You could be the person who gave them that start.
• Help shape the Academy. You'll have a real voice in how training is developed, including new commercial training modules.

What you'll do

• Train and coach apprentices to the FESS Level 3 Standard
• Deliver engaging classroom and online technical training in Fire & Security Systems
• Develop learning materials that bring real-world installation and commissioning experience to life
• Create and promote commercial training modules
• Mentor and develop apprentices, offering career advice and supporting apprentice recruitment
• Work closely with the Management Team to achieve the Academy's development goals
• Engage with external clients and agencies
• Keep the Academy running smoothly, including quality assurance compliance and learner documentation

What you'll bring

• Solid, hands‑on experience installing Fire & Security systems. This is essential.
• A genuine desire to coach, mentor and inspire people early in their careers
• Confident verbal and written communication
• Good IT skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
• Strong organisation and time management, and the ability to juggle competing priorities in a busy environment

What you'll get

• £50,000 - £55,000 per annum, plus:
• 35 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Subsidised private medical cover after probation
• Sick pay that increases with length of service
• Annual season ticket loan and interest‑free company loan
• Cycle to Work and Home & Tech schemes (up to £2k)
• Training and development opportunities, including day release for studies and exams
• Recruitment referral bonus of up to £500 per successful referral (T&Cs apply)
• Personal Accident Insurance covering accidents at work and outside of work
• Workplace benefits card with exclusive offers and discounts on everyday spending
• Company laptop, mobile and additional screens
• Up to 50% off company products
• Auto‑enrolment pension
• 24/7 confidential Employee Assistance Programme for you and your family, available from day one
• Social events, employee recognition rewards and "moments of magic" prizes
• Charity events throughout the year, including a flagship annual march that has raised over £13 million for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity since 2010
