Substation Fitter Instructor (Full Training Provided)
Manchester (Trafford Park)
Competitive Salary + Pension + Provided Lunches + Training + Progression + Holiday
Are you a Substation Fitter or HV Technician with experience building and installing substations within the transmission sector?
Have you been working on-site projects and want a more structured, less pressured environment where you can use your experience to develop others?
This is a rare opportunity to join a leading training provider within the energy and engineering sector, delivering high-quality training across electricity transmission. With significant investment into modern facilities - including realistic substation build environments - they are setting the standard for technical training in the industry.
The organisation works closely with industry to deliver training that reflects real-world installation projects, while providing a professional, supportive and empowered working culture. Instructors are trusted to deliver at a high level, with the time, tools and autonomy to focus on quality rather than site pressures.
This role is specifically suited to individuals who have worked on the construction and installation of substations - not maintenance. If your background involves building substations from the ground up, installing primary plant, steelwork, busbars and associated equipment on transmission projects, your experience will translate directly into this role.
As an Instructor, you'll step away from the day-to-day demands of site work and into a role where your experience is used to train and develop others. You'll deliver substation fitting modules focused on installation practices, support technical qualifications in power engineering, and assess learners against national standards. You'll play a key role in developing the next generation of engineers while continuing to build your own career within training and education.
Full training and support will be provided to help you transition into the role.
In return, you'll benefit from a structured working environment, strong work-life balance, ongoing development (including teaching and assessing qualifications), and clear progression opportunities as the training division continues to grow.
The Role:
Deliver training focused on substation construction and installation practices
Support delivery of technical certificates in power engineering
Assess learners against national qualification standards (NVQ / Diploma / EPA)
Design and develop high-quality training materials based on real-world installation projects
Deliver compliance and safety training relevant to transmission environments
Support learners throughout their full training and assessment journey
Maintain high standards of health, safety and training delivery
The Person:
Background in substation fitting within electricity transmission (construction/install focus)
Experience working on substation build projects - installing primary plant and associated equipment
Strong practical experience in mechanical fitting, steelwork and substation installation activities
Minimum of 5 years' experience within transmission or large-scale HV infrastructure projects
Good communicator with the ability to support and develop others
Interested in moving into a training/instructor role and building a long-term career
