Are you an Electronics, Automation or Instrumentation Engineer looking to step away from industry and into a rewarding role where you can develop the next generation of engineers?

Do you want to move into a Monday-to-Friday position with exceptional work-life balance, over 50 days holiday, a market-leading pension and the opportunity to remain technical while making a genuine difference?

This is an outstanding opportunity to join one of Cumbria's leading technical education providers and play a key role in developing the future engineering workforce.

With continued investment in its Engineering provision and ambitious plans for growth, the college is looking for an experienced industry professional who wants to transition into education. Full teacher training and a recognised teaching qualification will be provided, making this the perfect opportunity for someone looking to leave shift work, shutdowns or site-based engineering while staying connected to the technologies they know and enjoy.

In this role, you'll deliver a combination of practical and classroom-based training across Electronics, Automation and Instrumentation disciplines. You'll teach apprentices and engineering learners topics such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs), automation systems, robotics, embedded systems, electronics, electrical science, process control and instrumentation principles, helping them develop the technical knowledge required for careers within modern engineering industries.
