The Opportunity

As our Electrical Installations Trainer, you'll play a key role in shaping the careers of our future electricians and electrical engineers. You’ll deliver hands-on, high-quality training across various electrical installation courses – from apprenticeships to technical diplomas and industry-recognised qualifications.

Around 25% of your time will be focused on teaching, where you’ll run engaging, industry-relevant lessons that spark enthusiasm and build confidence. The remaining 75% will be spent assessing – supporting learners through practical observations, written assignments, and workplace visits to ensure they gain the technical skills, safety awareness, and professionalism needed for the job.

Your work won’t stop at teaching and assessing. You’ll also design and update learning materials, maintain a safe and modern workshop, and keep up with the latest tools and technologies. Working closely with employers, you’ll help apprentices get the most from their on-the-job training and move forward in their careers.

This is a great chance to put your industry experience to good use in a rewarding role – with great benefits like generous holiday and pension contributions.

About You

We’re looking for someone enthusiastic and experienced who’s passionate about electrical installations and supporting others to learn. If you’ve got industry qualifications – like an NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds – and hands-on experience in installation, maintenance, or testing, you could be a great fit for you.

A teaching or assessor qualification (like a PGCE or Cert Ed) would be a bonus, but it’s not essential. What matters most is your practical knowledge and your ability to inspire others. If you’re not yet qualified to teach, we’ll support you to gain the right training on the job.

You’ll need strong communication skills, the ability to plan engaging sessions, and a commitment to creating a positive, inclusive environment where every student can thrive. You should also be keen to stay up to date with the latest industry trends and bring that real-world insight into your teaching.

  • Level 3 qualification in Electrical Installations

  • 18th Edition qualification

  • Assessor Awards (or willingness to work towards)

  • Level 4 teaching qualification (or willingness to work towards)

    Reasons to join us

  • We offer substantial annual leave entitlement (Up to 55 days per year including bank and public holidays)

  • Teachers’ Pension Scheme

  • We invest in our people through funded CPD opportunities, regular staff development training and paid volunteering days

  • Career advancement opportunities with tailored support for staff to progress

  • 24/7 access to same day appointments with a GP

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Engineering: Reshaping the Big Data Pipeline

Data engineering has become an indispensable pillar of the modern technology ecosystem. As companies gather massive troves of data—often measured in petabytes—the importance of robust, scalable data pipelines cannot be overstated. From ingestion and storage to transformation and analysis, data engineers stand at the forefront of delivering reliable data for analytics, machine learning, and critical business decisions. Simultaneously, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone a revolution, transitioning from niche research projects to a foundational tool for everything from predictive maintenance and fraud detection to customer experience personalisation. Yet as AI models grow in complexity—think large language models with hundreds of billions of parameters—the data volumes and computational needs escalate dramatically. The industry finds itself at an inflection point: traditional computing systems may eventually hit performance ceilings, even when scaled horizontally with thousands of nodes. Enter quantum computing, a nascent yet rapidly progressing technology that leverages quantum mechanics to tackle certain computational tasks exponentially faster than classical machines. While quantum computing is still maturing, its potential to supercharge AI workflows—often referred to as quantum-enhanced AI—has piqued the curiosity of data engineers and enterprises alike. This synergy could solve some of the biggest headaches in data engineering: accelerating data transformations, enabling more efficient analytics, and even facilitating entirely new kinds of modelling once believed to be intractable. In this article, we explore: How data engineering has evolved to support AI’s insatiable appetite for high-quality, well-structured data. The fundamentals of quantum computing and why it may transform the data engineering landscape. Potential real-world applications for quantum-enhanced AI in data engineering—from data ingestion to machine learning pipeline optimisation. Emerging career paths and skill sets needed to thrive in a future where data, AI, and quantum computing intersect. Challenges, ethical considerations, and forward-looking perspectives on how this convergence might shape the data engineering domain. If you work in data engineering, are curious about quantum computing, or simply want to stay on the cutting edge of technology, read on. The next frontier of data-driven innovation may well be quantum-powered.
