You will have an understanding of mechanical principles and will be able to demonstrate and explain the use of equipment to assist students with designing and manufacturing across a range of subject areas including our Aerospace, Automotive and Mechanical cohorts. As we work both independently and within a team, you’ll be flexible in your approach and attitude, with a client‑oriented approach and able to prioritise to meet deadlines. Good communication and interpersonal skills are key. Qualifications required You will hold a minimum of A‑levels or equivalent qualifications or have equivalent proven experience. A recognised qualification in an appropriate subject at degree or HNC/HND level or equivalent is desirable.
