At City College Plymouth you will be joining a college that is proud of its culture, where our core values of Respect, Ownership and Integrity are there to nurture and support a passion for teaching and learning, enriching our community through knowledge, experience and skills enabling every student to be the best they can be.
At City College Plymouth, one of the country’s largest providers of quality education and training, we are going through a period of transition to enable us to propel education into the future. We pride ourselves on delivering a learning environment and organisational culture that impact positively on the health, wellbeing and sustainability of our community and enables all our students and staff to achieve their full potential.
The Role
We are seeking a technically skilled Lecturer to support the growth of our marine autonomy and related engineering provision. The role will draw on expertise in areas such as autonomous systems, automation, robotics, electronics, mechatronics, additive manufacturing, remote operations or systems engineering, helping learners develop the practical and theoretical skills needed for this rapidly evolving sector. Whether you are an experienced lecturer or an industry professional moving into education, you will help shape employer-responsive curriculum and prepare learners for higher-level study and technical careers.
What Will You Bring to the Role
- Adapting - Able to move confidently between different technical disciplines and teaching demands, adapting to developments across autonomy, automation, robotics, electronics, additive manufacturing and related systems.
- Problem-solving - Able to analyse complex technical systems, identify relationships and faults, apply engineering principles in new situations and support learners to develop structured systems-thinking and problem-solving skills.
- Learning - Able to continually learn from emerging technologies and industry practice, update technical knowledge quickly and anticipate how developments in autonomous and maritime systems should influence curriculum and delivery.
- Interpreting - Able to interpret and apply relevant quantitative and technical data, including measurements, system outputs, performance information and engineering calculations, to support practical teaching and technical problem-solving.
