Edinburgh
£41,919 to £45,587 p/a
Full-time, permanent

We are currently working with an education provider in the Edinburgh area who are looking for an Agricultural Engineering Lecturer to join their team on a permanent, full-time basis. 
 
The position is a full-time role of 37 hours per week, and would involve delivering hands-on and classroom-based training to Agricultural Engineering apprentices, based around the maintenance and repair of Agricultural Plant equipment.

We are looking for an experienced engineering professional from the agricultural sector, ideally with hands-on experience in servicing, diagnosing and repairing modern agricultural machinery.

This is an excellent opportunity for an industry professional looking to develop the next generation of agricultural engineers within a respected educational institution.
 
The starting salary would be between £41,919 and £45,587 per annum, and you would also get a Teacher's Pension (with employer contributions of 28.68%), and a holiday allocation of at least 37 days (plus Bank Holidays).
 
The successful candidate will have proven expertise in the maintenance, servicing, diagnostics and repair of agricultural equipment. We would also welcome applications from individuals with relevant transferable skills gained within related sectors such as automotive, heavy goods vehicles (HGV), or heavy plant engineering.

Candidates should be qualified to at least SCQF Level 6 (equivalent to Level 3 in England) in Land-based Engineering or a related discipline and have attended relevant manufacturer training programmes.

Please note that you don't need a teaching qualification in order to apply to this role, as the education provider would be able to put you through one if you don't have one already.
 
I am looking to set up interviews as soon as possible, so if you are interested and available for interview, please reply with your CV and daytime contact number and I'll get back to you, or you can always call me on (phone number removed).
 
Please feel free to pass on my details if you know someone who might be interested.
