Derby, United Kingdom University of Derby Full time

Location: Nuclear Skills Academy, Infinity Park, DE24 9FU

As Senior Technician - Mechanical Engineering you will support and develop practical related activities for the engineering technician apprenticeship scheme. You will be working across level 3, level 4 and level 6 programmes within the newly created Nuclear Skills Academy with a particular emphasis on mechanical manufacturing, welding and fabrication including milling, turning and CNC work.

Working closely with academics and members of technical team you will provide specialist support relating to machine shop activities. The successful candidate will be required to work across several laboratories with a high degree of autonomy, and provide additional technical support across the academy as required.

You will be part of our technical team responsible for the maintenance, operation and safety of college equipment, and will be able to provide full technical support to apprentice students and staff including training and advice on the appropriate use of resources.

Why join our team?

Our Senior Technician role operates within an agile and stimulating environment, where the innovative use of leading technology creates a future-focused environment that inspires our students to learn and develop throughout their course.

You will have access to organisational career development pathways which include access to wide ranging and relevant internal and external courses. We have a strong sense of team and support colleagues with peer-to-peer learning and mentoring. 

We are passionate about what we do, and welcome applications from those who are looking to make a meaningful impact on the student journey. 

For more details on the University of Derby’s Reward and Benefits including our generous holiday and pension provision, please see our Careers Page for more details. 

For further information and informal enquiries regarding the role, please contact Cheryl Harris, Technical Team Leader via c.harris3@derby.ac.uk

For enquiries regarding your application and for sponsorship eligibility, please contact the recruitment team via recruitment@derby.ac.uk  

This role is employed by University of Derby but works in partnership with Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd. Due to the nature of work that Rolls-Royce Submarines Ltd conducts and the protection of certain assets, some roles within the Nuclear Skills Academy (NSA) require post-holders to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance. 

This role does not currently require SC clearance, and this will not be a condition of appointment to this role. However, please be aware that there may be a future requirement for the successful candidate/s to undertake a SC check should any change in circumstances render this necessary due to development of the NSA over the coming years. 

If you are successful, you will be required to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. The post for which you are applying is exempt from Section 4(2) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 requiring any spent convictions to be declared. Any information you provide will be treated in confidence and only used when considering your suitability for the post.

To enable us to process your DBS check please ensure you are able to supply the documentation listed on the DBS website at interview stage.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expect everyone who works for us to also share this commitment and to treat people with courtesy and respect.
