The Role

We're looking for a passionate and innovative Training Coordinator. In this pivotal role, you'll have the opportunity to influence the growth of early-career engineers and reinforce our reputation as the leader in the industry through training initiatives for both our internal teams and external industry professionals.

Our internal training is technical for high achieving graduates who want to excel and become leaders in the industry later in their career. To do that, they need the gold-standard training during their graduate programme that accelerates their learning and helps them grasp complex concepts quickly, to use in real world contexts.

Our external training is designed for professionals within the industry —those looking to deepen their technical expertise, master complex regulations, or explore advanced concepts in a practical, accessible way.

If you're a proactive, this is your chance to make a real impact.
