Electronics Trainer Opportunity: Shape the Future of Defence Engineering at Babcock

For seasoned electronics professionals seeking a fulfilling career transition, Babcock presents a compelling opportunity to leverage your deep technical expertise in a vital and impactful role as an Electronics Trainer. Located in Lyneham, Wiltshire, this full-time, permanent position offers a competitive salary of £43,764 - £45,848, dependent on experience, along with a comprehensive benefits package.

This is not your typical training role. Babcock actively seeks individuals with extensive hands-on experience, recognizing its immense value in shaping the next generation of military engineering professionals. As an Electronics Trainer, you will move away from direct engineering tasks and step into a position of influence, guiding and assessing learners in the MOD's advanced electro-mechanical systems. If you are ready to impart your knowledge and contribute to national security while advancing your own career, this role is an exceptional next step.

Key Advantages for Candidates:

• Meaningful Impact: Directly contribute to the UK's operational readiness and national security by training highly skilled defence personnel in critical electronics, radar, telecommunications, and avionics systems.
• Career Transition: No prior teaching experience is required. Babcock values your practical engineering background and provides the support to transition into a rewarding training career.
• Professional Development: Benefit from excellent development opportunities, including a commitment to support you in completing a Level 4 Certificate in Education and Learning within your first year.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Enjoy a generous holiday allowance, matched contribution pension scheme with life assurance, access to a Digital GP, employee share scheme, shopping discounts, and support for wellbeing through an employee assistance programme.
• Work-Life Balance: While the role is full-time (37 hours per week), Babcock is open to discussing flexible working patterns during the interview process.
• Purpose-Driven Environment: Join an organisation with a long-standing history of defending nations and protecting communities, operating within a dynamic and purpose-driven environment.

Key Considerations for Aspiring Candidates:

• Technical Foundation: A strong background in electronics, radar, telecommunications, or avionic systems is essential. An HNC in a relevant engineering discipline is preferred, but significant relevant experience will also be considered.
• Supervisory Experience: Previous supervisory experience within a technical or engineering environment is a key requirement, demonstrating your ability to lead and guide others.
• IT Proficiency: Competence in Microsoft Office and Outlook is necessary for course preparation and record-keeping.
• Security Clearance: The successful candidate must be eligible for and able to maintain Security Check (SC) security clearance. Potential candidates should review the GOV.UK guidance on national security clearance and its implications based on nationality and residency.
• Commitment to Learning: A willingness to undertake and successfully complete the Level 4 Certificate in Education and Learning is a crucial part of this role.

This role offers a unique blend of technical application and personal development, making it an ideal opportunity for experienced electronics professionals looking to embark on a new and impactful career path. If you are driven by purpose and possess the technical acumen, we encourage you to explore this exciting prospect.
