Engineering Trainer & Assessor
Birmingham - West Midlands Patch
£36,000 - £39,000 + Full Training Provided + Mileage + Excellent Benefits + Progression

Are you a Mechanical or Multi-Skilled Maintenance Engineer looking to step away from the tools?

Are you looking for a role that offers long-term stability & job security, excellent benefits, a brilliant work/life balance, training & career progression and the opportunity to coach the next generation of engineers?

On offer is an excellent opportunity to join a respected and supportive education provider as an Engineering Trainer & Assessor.

This employer is widely recognised for genuinely investing in its staff. They provide full Assessor and Teaching qualifications, ongoing CPD, strong progression opportunities, generous benefits and a culture built around development, support and teamwork. Their engineering department continues to grow, with modern facilities, industry links and a commitment to providing high-quality training for apprentices.

For engineers looking for stability, structured hours, personal growth and long-term career development outside of industry, this is an ideal environment.

In this role, you will work closely with apprentices across the West Midlands, supporting them 1-to-1 as they develop their practical skills, technical knowledge and confidence. You will coach, mentor and guide them through their apprenticeship journey, helping them understand real engineering principles and apply what they learn in their workplace. You'll build strong relationships with learners and employers, set development goals, review progress, and play a key part in their growth as future engineers.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on Mechanical or Multi-Skilled maintenance experience, ideally with exposure to plant environments, robotics, PLCs or mechanical systems. No previous assessing or teaching experience is required as full training and qualifications will be provided.

This role would suit an Engineer with a Mechanical bias who wants more stability and purpose, and can see themselves coaching, developing and mentoring others while benefitting from excellent training and progression.

The Role:

Coaching, mentoring and supporting apprentices 1-to-1 across the West Midlands
Helping learners build confidence, skills and knowledge throughout their apprenticeship
Managing your own caseload and planning your weekly schedule
Setting development goals, reviewing progress and guiding learners toward achievement

The Person:

Mechanical Engineer or Multi-Skilled Engineer with strong mechanical bias
Experience in maintenance, manufacturing, robotics, PLCs or plant environments
Level 3 qualification in Engineering
Passion for helping, mentoring and coaching developing engineers
Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel within the West Midlands
Reference Number: 26-62-35

Robotics Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Robotics looks futuristic from the outside. People picture humanoid machines, cutting-edge labs & young engineers writing complex code. In the UK job market, the reality is more practical and more encouraging for career switchers: robotics is already embedded across manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture, defence, construction & inspection. That means there are real jobs for people in their 30s, 40s & 50s who bring operational experience, delivery skills, quality discipline & the ability to work with real-world systems. This article gives you a clear UK reality check on robotics careers for career switchers: what roles genuinely exist, which paths are most realistic, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining tends to take & whether age is a factor.

How to Write a Robotics Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Robotics is moving rapidly from research labs into real-world deployment. Across the UK, robots are now used in manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, defence, agriculture, autonomous vehicles and service industries. As adoption accelerates, demand for skilled robotics professionals continues to grow. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Robotics job adverts often receive either very few applications or large numbers of unsuitable ones. Experienced robotics engineers, meanwhile, routinely skip adverts that feel vague, unrealistic or disconnected from how robotics systems actually work in practice. In most cases, the problem is not the talent pool — it is the job advert itself. Robotics professionals are systems thinkers. They care deeply about constraints, integration and real-world performance. A poorly written job ad signals weak technical understanding and unrealistic expectations. A well-written one signals credibility, seriousness and a mature robotics programme. This guide explains how to write a robotics job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and positions your organisation as a credible employer in the robotics sector.

Maths for Robotics Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for robotics jobs in the UK it is easy to assume you need degree level maths across everything. Most roles do not work like that. What hiring managers usually mean by “strong maths” is much more practical: you can move confidently between coordinate frames you understand rotations without getting lost you can reason about kinematics, control, uncertainty & optimisation you can turn that maths into working code in a robotics stack This guide focuses on the only maths topics that consistently show up across common UK roles like Robotics Software Engineer, Controls Engineer, Autonomous Systems Engineer, Perception Engineer, SLAM Engineer, Robotics Research Engineer, Mechatronics Engineer & Robotics Systems Engineer. You will also get a 6 week learning plan, portfolio projects & a resources section so you can learn fast without drowning in theory.
