Training Academy Principle

Cockermouth, Cumbria, United Kingdom Solomons Europe Full time

Training Academy Principle:

The Big Idea


As a Chartered Surveying Practice in business since 1998, the last 25 years have given us a wealth of industry experience.

Over the last decade we have witnessed an increasing pace of change, which has challenged our professional teams to stay current and informed.


We are acutely aware that to maintain technical and professional standards our work must now be viewed as a 'lifetime apprenticeship' - with continuous professional growth accepted as the norm, for the whole of a person's career.


Our personal experience of lifetime learning is the reason we have committed to 'powering up' our fledging Future Skills Academy to become a hothouse, not just for new talent, but all talent.

We are on a mission, through the Academy to optimise and enable talented and experienced professional teams, from apprentice through to senior manager, to flourish and grow in this modern working landscape.


So to take this mission forward, we are looking for a creative and inspiring Academy Principal, who will support and reimagine traditional training pathways and methods for our business.

Someone who can create and build new course programmes which dovetail technical excellence alongside effective communication, collaboration, and resilience skills.


We want to encourage construction professionals to stay curious, agile, and capable, and to thrive, not simply survive, in the modern working landscape.

Ensuring they are informed and empowered to make 'future fit' decisions and to create positive impact in their projects, careers and regional communities.


What you will bring to the role:

As Academy Principal you will be responsible for bringing our vision to life Working closely with the Board of Directors and the People and Performance team, you will be involved at grass roots level, taking ownership of this challenge and seeing it through to fruition.

You will lead the following activities both in practical and business development aspects:

  • Development of the Academy syllabus and prospectus to meet the needs of the Solomons team and beyond, encapsulating both technical and behaviuoral skills enhancement.
  • Building a network of industry experts and professionals to provide insights and educational content for our Future Skills Academy programmes capable of supporting workshop delivery, contributing bi annual thought leadership pieces and podcast sessions for the Academy library.
  • You will develop and curate the course programmes and supporting materials to ensure learning outcomes are achieved and to enable effective evaluation of programme impact in practice.
  • You will represent the academy at networking and industry events, championing the lifetime learning principles upheld within Solomons and FSA brand identities.
  • You will collaborate with clients to create bespoke technical and professional competency frameworks and learning programmes to create a pathway for achieving Future Skills capability enhancement across teams.
  • Your role will require face to face meetings with clients and team members from entry to senior professional level. You should therefore be assured and competent in liaising at all levels of business, both internally and externally to Solomons.
  • With a focus on business development, you should be motivated and able to optimise emerging trends to grow sales and Academy membership. In addition, it is expected that clients may from time to time request bespoke programme delivery, where face to face scoping meetings with clients HR and senior teams will be required, culminating in the production of priced proposals and hybrid delivery models.
  • You should be confident and competent in building client relationships, opening up new customer pipelines and optimising academy subscriptions for yearonyear pipeline sales growth and revenue stability
  • The Academy will be focused on Adult Learning, from Apprentice through to Senior Management, including technical excellence to RICS Chartered Status and cognisant of the new NEC Competency Framework, as well as the principles of WRAW which will form the underpinning of our resilience programme elements. You will therefore be required to familiarise yourself with these models to liaise appropriately with all levels of decision maker in target client businesses and to build rapport and trust to support ongoing partnering opportunities and sales.
  • You will also be expected to deliver workshops and training in line with your own area of expertise be that technical or behavioural.


The Academy hub will be situated at our Papcastle Depot premises in Cumbria, but travel to other regions (predominantly within the Northern Powerhouse) will be required to raise brand awareness, meet clients and deliver offsite programmes as needed.
