Inspire the Next Generation of Women in Energy!
NESCol is looking for a passionate and forward-thinking Instructor to join its Girls in Energy programme—an exciting initiative designed to spark ambition and empower S3–S6 pupils to explore careers in the dynamic, fast-evolving energy sector.
As part of this role, you’ll deliver the National 5 Girls in Energy qualification, along with engaging activities that promote sustainability, renewables, and the future of energy. You’ll be a key role model—bringing STEM learning to life, building confidence in young women, and helping them visualise their place in the energy workforce of tomorrow.
We’re looking for someone who:
* Is educated to HNC level or above in an Engineering discipline (or has equivalent industry experience)
* Has a natural flair for connecting with and motivating young learners
* Can bring energy, creativity and real-world insight to classroom and outreach settings
* Ideally holds a recognised Assessor qualification (A1, D32 or equivalent)
* Holds a driving licence and is able to travel throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.
Experience in renewables, offshore, or net-zero aligned technologies is a plus—but most important is your enthusiasm to make a lasting impact. This is your chance to be part of a pioneering programme that is not only changing perceptions—but shaping futures.
The closing date for applications will be 22/05/2025.
