At Nottingham College, we are seeking a highly capable and versatile engineering lecturer who can deliver across Mechanical & Electrical/Electronic Engineering, and Engineering Maths and Science from Level 1 through to Level 5.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced FE practitioner who enjoys teaching across multiple disciplines and levels, and who is confident delivering both practical workshop-based learning and analytically rigorous classroom teaching.

You will play a key role in supporting learners at every stage of their engineering journey — from foundation learners developing core skills to degree-level students mastering advanced analytical concepts.

We are looking for a multidisciplinary engineer who can confidently bridge:

• Mechanical systems and design
• Electrical and electronic systems
• The mathematical and physical principles that underpin engineering practice

You will deliver across FE and HE provision, supporting programmes including:

• Electrical machines and power systems
• Analogue and digital electronics
• Control systems and automation
• PLC and embedded systems
• Engineering Mathematics & Physics
• Algebra, trigonometry and calculus
• Applied mechanics and engineering science
• Statistical methods for engineers

You must be confident teaching mathematics and applied physics to degree-level learners, while also supporting foundation learners in building confidence and core skills.

• Have a degree (Level 6 or above) in Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic or related Engineering discipline
• Have strong underpinning knowledge of Engineering Mathematics and Applied Physics
• Can teach across both mechanical and electrical disciplines
• Are confident delivering analytical content up to Level 6
• Have experience working with diverse FE learners
• Maintain high expectations around attendance, behaviour and academic standards
• Are organised, adaptable and student-focused
• A teaching qualification (PGCE/Cert Ed) is essential or must be achieved within a specified timeframe.

• Experience delivering across multiple qualification levels
• Industry experience within electro-mechanical environments
