About the Role
Technical colleagues within the College of Science and Engineering support a wide range of specialist resources and activities. Working independently and in collaboration with academics, our technicians play an important role in advancing the work in many of our academic disciplines. We support specialist areas such as laboratories, workshops and controlled environments. We also provide specialist support for Research Centres such as the Institute for Innovation in Sustainable Engineering (IISE), East Midlands Institute of Technology (EMIOT) and the Nuclear Skills Academy (NSA).
Responsibilities
You will contribute to laboratory and field-based learning across core civil engineering disciplines, including surveying, structural engineering, geotechnics, and fluid mechanics.
* Maintenance, demonstrating technical procedures, preparing equipment and experimental setups, and supporting the delivery of practical classes and fieldwork.
* Support of surveying activities and field trips, including the operation, maintenance, and demonstration of surveying technologies such as robotic total stations, Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers, terrestrial laser scanners, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).
* Processing, management, and presentation of survey data, producing outputs aligned with current industry standards.
* Load and unload equipment up to 50kg, shared lifting processes.
About You
* Qualification(s) equivalent to a degree in Civil Engineering, Surveying, or a related discipline, or possession of comparable knowledge and transferable skills gained through relevant professional experience.
* Significant specialist technical experience within civil engineering, including surveying or site-based measurement activities, preferably gained within an industrial, research, or educational environment.
* Proficient in the operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of surveying equipment, including total stations, GNSS/GPS equipment, digital levels, laser scanners, and associated data-logging devices.
* Solid understanding of structural engineering principles, geotechnics and fluid mechanics relating to civil engineering applications.
* Experience supporting laboratory or field-based activities, assisting with the preparation and assembly of test setups and data analysis.
* A Full UK Driving License (manual) is essential; ability to drive University vehicles and hired vehicles up to 3.5 tonne.
* Required to load and unload equipment up to 50kg, typically with shared lifting processes.
Important Information
The University is unable to sponsor the employment of international workers under the Skilled Worker route for this role; however, applications are welcome from candidates who are able to demonstrate an alternative right to work in the UK.
