Remote Mechanical Engineering Educator (Term-Time)

To be considered for this role, applicants must have prior experience as a lecturer, teacher, tutor, trainer, or instructor in mechanical engineering. While this is primarily a remote position, candidates are also welcome to work on-site at one of the provider’s locations in the heart of Manchester.

Are you an experienced Mechanical Engineering Teacher, Lecturer, Trainer, Tutor, or Instructor with a Level 3 qualification (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline?

A national training provider is offering an opportunity to deliver Mechanical Engineering courses to students aged 16–19 in the Further Education sector.

How You Will Work

Theory-Based Teaching – Deliver the theory components of Mechanical Engineering — including engineering principles, health and safety, mechanical systems, maintenance techniques, and technical drawings — using platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Moodle.

Apprenticeship Support – Support apprentices on-site with employers by delivering remote sessions, providing guidance, regular check-ins, and online support to help learners progress through their qualifications.

Blended Learning Approach – While the role is primarily remote, the training provider follows a blended model. You may be required to attend in-person sessions once every fortnight for practical assessments or hands-on demonstrations. All travel expenses for these visits will be covered.
