* Support curriculum development by sharing your technical expertise.
* Occasionally travel to other UK sites for short delivery blocks.
Ideal Candidate:
* Time-served Mechanical or Electrical Engineer.
* Hold a Level 3 NVQ (or equivalent) in Engineering.

* Competitive salary (£38,000–£42,000) with progression opportunities.
