Time to Step Off the Tools? This Could Be Your Next Move
If you’re a qualified electrician thinking about your next step, maybe you’re done with site work, want more stable hours, or you’re ready to give something back – this role could be ideal.
  
This full-time job combines practical, hands-on work in a modern training centre with the chance to guide, support and coach up-and-coming apprentices preparing for their final assessments.
  
The Role In a Nutshell
  
As a Trainer:

• Deliver AM2S preparation sessions to help learners pass first time
• Run practical workshops and tailored 1-to-1 coaching sessions
• Review apprentice performance and help them get EPA-ready
• Build training plans, assessments and session content based on real-world industry standards
• Work alongside tutors, employers, and internal teams to support learner progress

  
As a Workshop Technician:

• Keep the training workshop organised, clean, and safe
• Set up and maintain tools, rigs, and training boards
• Support learners during hands-on tasks
• Monitor materials, replenish stock, and carry out small repairs when needed
• Help ensure H&S compliance, including first aid and COSHH upkeep
• Be a go-to support on the ground for both learners and instructors

  
Must-Have Qualifications & Experience:

• Level 3 Electrical Qualification (e.g. C&G 2360 Part 1 & 2 or equivalent)
• 18th Edition (or willing to gain it)
• 2391, 2394/5 or equivalent Testing & Inspection cert
• Solid post-qual/site experience in the electrical or FM sector
• Confidence with AM2S-style setups (or open to training)
• Good people skills – able to guide, support, and communicate well
• Organised, hands-on and confident with basic IT

Nice-to-Have (but not essential):

• Teaching or assessor qualifications (CTP, PGCE, TAQA, etc.)
• Experience mentoring, coaching, or training others on site
• Familiarity with online or digital learning tools
• Knowledge of standards like NOS or awarding body frameworks

• Great next step off the tools – still hands-on, but no site stress
• Make a difference by helping the next generation of electricians
• Monday–Friday, stable hours, no callouts or weekend work
• Use your experience in a new way without starting from scratch
• Be part of a team that values trade knowledge and real-world skills
