The Role

We are currently looking to grow our pool of Power Engineering Instructors to facilitate daytime in-person deliveries of 4th Class and 5th Class Power Engineering Labs.

These courses are built to suit a diverse learner population, ranging from students upgrading foreign credentials to those changing careers mid‑life. Our learners are mature, focused, and want to be challenged.
