Are you ready to step off the tools and lead the industry?
If you are a qualified Plumbing & Heating professional who is tired of the physical toll of site work—or a Lecturer looking for a fresh challenge away from the classroom—this is the "next step" role you’ve been looking for.
Join SNIPEF, the voice of the industry in Scotland and Northern Ireland. As our new Technical Advisor & Training Specialist, you won't just be following standards; you’ll be helping to set them. This is a newly created, pivotal role where your decades of experience become your greatest asset.
Why this role is different:
*
Work-Life Balance: A genuine 34.5-hour week with hybrid working. No more chasing invoices or working in the cold.
*
Influence: You will be the "go-to" expert for our members, providing authoritative advice on everything from water safety to building standards.
*
Legacy: Shape the next generation of plumbers by designing high-quality training sessions through the SNIPEF Academy.
*
Support: If you have the knowledge but not the "Assessor" paperwork, we will pay for and support you in getting qualified.
What you will do:
*
Advise: Act as the technical backbone for our members, solving complex queries and providing guidance on gas safety and technical standards.
*
Educate: Move away from repetitive lecturing into high-impact workshop design and delivery.
*
Quality Control: Conduct inspections and contribute your expertise to the national complaints and certification processes.
*
Evolve: Help us review and improve technical standards for the entire industry.
What we need from you:
*
Technical Mastery: You are a fully qualified Plumber/Heating Engineer with years of hands-on experience.
*
Communication: You can explain complex technical jargon in a way that’s easy to understand.
*
Perspective: You’re ready to move into an office/consultancy-based environment where your brain is used more than your toolkit.
