Help train and develop the Technical Installation professionals of the future

When you join us in this important role you'll be responsible for planning, leading and delivering high quality technical training to new Engineering & Operations staff and Technical Apprentices who are focusing on developing their installation skills. Working closely with the Heads of various areas of our organisation to identify skill gaps and using bespoke, tailored programmes to increase the knowledge and expertise of existing technical staff, you'll focus on ensuring that all the training we deliver is relevant and up to date.

Youll have a number of additional tasks - these include promoting skills sharing sessions, engaging with our stakeholders regarding new technical security systems in development, and keeping up to speed with upgrades and modifications to those already in service. Committed to maintaining your own professional learning and development, and responsible for implementing and upholding health and safety procedures, there will also be times when we'll require you to deploy overseas to observe staff competencies and remain abreast of the latest systems procedures.

Use your specialist technical skills to defend the UK's global interests

With an NVQ, QCF, City & Guilds, BTEC, ONC or a similar qualification in electronics, telecommunications, protective security systems or proven equivalent experience, you'll be adept at delivering technical training and presentations. Your excellent interpersonal skills will allow you to communicate with a diverse range of staff who possess varying degrees of expertise, and in addition to the ability to apply your academic knowledge in practical situations, you'll have good knowledge of programming relevant equipment.

A City & Guilds Level 3 award in Education and Training would be desirable, as well as SME knowledge in a number of technical security systems. Knowledge of construction and electrical security procedures and administration would be a bonus, as would experience of working with electrical and construction colleagues. We'll also prefer you to have a keen interest in radio principles and software development and programming.

Discover the support you need to grow your career further

But we're always looking to improve - just like you. That's why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you'll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.
