Due to upcoming retirement, we are seeking to recruit an Engineering Assessor in either Engineering Construction Pipe Fitter or Pipe Welder.
This is an excellent opportunity to join the successful team at The Engineering College delivering a high-quality learning experience to engineering students, ensuring they reach their maximum educational and developmental potential.
You will be joining a small, supportive trade team where your specific skill set will complement the existing expertise so you must be a team player and an effective communicator. As our needs for pipe fitting are met, we are particularly interested in candidates who bring experience of pipe and plate welding. Specifics of the core elements for learner achievement are set out at https://www.skillsengland.education.gov.uk/apprenticeships/st0162-v1-3 and /st0851-v1-3 .
You will be a time served Pipe Fitter / Pipe Welder and hold Level 3 or above in a relevant engineering qualification together with suitable teacher/assessor qualifications. If this is a career change for you, moving out of industry and stepping into education for the first time, we can train you to convert your vocational skills to a teaching role. You must be genuinely looking to switch to a real and worthwhile career in technical training for industry and willing to work towards achieving a relevant teaching and assessor qualification which will be fully funded.
Experience of platforms such as OneFile and Canvas is desirable, as are good IT skills with proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, Teams and Outlook.
You should be confident in managing apprenticeship documentation from registration through to end point assessment. During regularly scheduled ‘on the job’ reviews, you will ensure learner progress in the development of knowledge and skills is aligned to their programme and employer requirements, all to a high standard of quality.
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential for an assessor due to the nature of the role which involves regular travel to engage with apprentices and employers across the Mersey and Cheshire regions and for which mileage, tunnel toll and a monthly car allowance are payable. For practical reasons, applicants based in or near these localities may find it more convenient.
There is also scope for the successful candidate to become suitably qualified to carry out Internal Quality Assurance activities to ensure learner portfolios are maintained to the required standard for awarding bodies.
