Are you a technical trainer, instructor, assessor, or provider‑facing professional who’s ready to step away from the classroom and move into a role with bigger impact?

Do you enjoy visiting training centres, evaluating capability, and helping providers deliver high‑quality technical training that meets national standards?

This is a rare opportunity to join a respected, government‑backed organisation that plays a critical role in ensuring the UK’s engineering construction workforce is skilled, safe, and future‑ready. Instead of delivering training yourself, you’ll be supporting and approving the organisations who deliver it – making this ideal for someone with a technical training background who wants more autonomy, flexibility, and influence.

Working across provider approval, quality, standards, and relationship management, you’ll ensure that training organisations have the facilities, people, equipment, and capability required to deliver accredited courses to a consistently high standard. You’ll play a key role in shaping provider performance, improving the learner experience, and ensuring industry has access to the training it needs.

This role would suit someone who currently works as a technical trainer, tutor, or assessor who wants to move away from day‑to‑day delivery. You’ll work from home, manage your own diary, visit providers across the region, and build strong relationships that raise capability across the network. Familiarity with nationally recognised engineering construction courses (such as those often delivered under industry bodies) would be an advantage, but is not essential – strong technical training experience is what matters most.

If you want a role with purpose, flexibility, and the chance to shape standards across a national provider network, this is an excellent next step.
