Lecturer - Electrical

You've built your career in the electrical industry. You know the trade, understand the standards, and have the practical experience that can't simply be learnt from a textbook. Now, imagine using that experience to help someone else build their future.
At IEG, we're looking for an experienced electrical professional to bring their industry knowledge into the classroom and inspire the next generation of electricians.
You don't need to have worked as a teacher before. If you're passionate about your trade, enjoy helping others and want to make a real difference, we'll consider your industry experience alongside your ability and enthusiasm to teach.
Why make the move into teaching?

This is an opportunity to do something different with the skills you've spent years developing. You'll help learners gain the knowledge, confidence and practical understanding they need to succeed in the electrical industry - and play a part in developing the skilled workforce the sector needs.
You'll also have the opportunity to keep developing professionally, work with a supportive team and build a career beyond the tools. If you're interested in teaching but haven't taken that step because you don't have a teaching background, we'd love to hear from you.
What will you be doing?

Sharing your electrical knowledge and industry experience with learners across Levels 1 to 4, including higher-level study.

Delivering engaging lessons that connect theory with the realities of working in the trade.

Helping learners develop their technical skills, confidence and understanding of industry standards and safe working practices.

Assessing work, providing constructive feedback and supporting students to achieve their qualifications.

Working with colleagues and employers to keep learning relevant to the needs of the electrical industry.

Helping learners prepare for their next steps, whether that's employment, an apprenticeship or further study.

There's more to teaching than delivering lessons, but you won't be doing it alone. You'll work collaboratively with colleagues to plan learning, monitor progress and help students get the most from their time at college.
What are we looking for?

Above all, we're looking for someone with recent, substantial experience in the electrical industry and the technical knowledge to teach electrical qualifications from Level 1 to Level 4.
You'll also need:
A relevant Level 3 or 4 qualification, HND, degree or professional industry qualification.

Level 2 English and maths.

Strong communication skills and the ability to explain technical information clearly.

A positive, patient and adaptable approach to helping people learn.

A commitment to safe working practices and supporting every learner to achieve their potential.

A teaching qualification is required for the role, but if you're an experienced electrician who hasn't yet made the move into education, please don't rule yourself out. We can discuss your existing qualifications and the route into teaching with you. You'll also need an assessor award or be willing to work towards one.
