Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, United Kingdom University of Bath Full time

About the role:

Do you want to support the next generation of engineers and contribute to world class research? Are you flexible and adaptable in your approach to work?

We're looking for a motivated technical specialist to join our team. Our technical team plays a crucial role in enriching the student experience.

You will work in our student workshop teaching and supervising our undergraduate students. You will provide technical support for both teaching and research activities. You could be making parts for a student racing car one day or working with researchers to build an artificial knee the next.

You'll use conventional machine tools (milling machines, lathes, etc) as well as CNC machines for more complex machining requirements. You will contribute to the teaching and supervision of undergraduates in the use of machine/hand tools and during final year individual research projects. You'll also provide skills in welding/fabrication in steel, stainless steel and aluminium together with bench fitting and assembly.

You will be required to supervise student activities in the Workshop and carry out inductions to ensure safe working at all times. You'll also offer a training programme for apprentice technicians, supervising their development by setting their workload and training schedule, as well as providing support and general guidance during their studies.

The role is a full time (36.5 hours) position, but we can consider flexible working.

For informal enquiries please contact Florence Richardson, Technical Supervisor, on or or Julian Sulley, Director of Technical Services, on or Please ensure you submit your application via the University website.

About you:

Our ideal candidate will have:

  • A recognised machining apprenticeship and/or experience in a similar role
  • Experience of upholding safe working practices
  • The ability to assess scientific and technical information and suggest solutions
  • Confidence working and communicating with a diverse student population (we can provide training if necessary)
  • Experience working with mechanical workshop conventional machine tools and hand tools

Experience in the supervision and/or instruction related to the training of students, apprentices or trainees in an engineering workshop environment is a bonus but not crucial. If you have experience of assembly, fitting, fabrication or welding this will also be an advantage.

About us:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering is in the top 5 in the UK for our undergraduate courses and internationally renowned for our research output. You will be part of this success through the technical support you provide to our students and staff.

The University of Bath is set amongst green fields overlooking the world-heritage city of Bath - with the city centre only 1 mile from campus. This is an innovative, successful and rewarding place to work and develop your career. Other benefits include a generous leave entitlement, pension schemes, a wide range of learning and development opportunities and various staff discounts.
