Following its part acquisition by the United Living Group (ULG), GTEC has expanded at pace, with centres nationwide, including partnerships with other industry leaders, such as City Plumbing, SolarEdge, Weinerberger and Midsummer Energy.
The company is therefore primed to help more engineers take advantage of the business opportunities offered by the transition to Net Zero, including new subject areas, such as the recently added online Heat Networks introductory course, which is currently fully funded.
In order to push these plans forward, GTEC needs trainers from the building services and construction sector, with time served experience and recognised qualifications to help fulfil the demand for heat pump, battery storage, solar PV and other mechanical, electrical and civil engineering courses.
The ideal role for existing installers looking for new challenges and maybe a break from the tools, successful candidates will help develop and deliver training from GTEC’s approved centres nationwide and on-site, supporting businesses, including ULG, in upskilling their teams.
Suzanne McNamara, Talent Acquisition Business Partner for ULG, said: “If you’ve got experience in the trades, know how to motivate people and share your knowledge, and you’re looking for a career change with plenty of scope for growth, then we’d love to hear from you!”
The technical trainer roles
Technical trainers will help develop and deliver high-quality courses in the low carbon and/or construction sectors, including heat pump, battery storage, solar photovoltaic, mechanical and civil engineering qualifications, as well as bespoke training programmes to meet the needs of individual organisations.
Suitable candidates will have a background in related construction trades, ideally with experience in low carbon technologies. A proven track record as a technical trainer or mentor would be an advantage but not essential. Becoming a GTEC Technical Trainer would also suit trades people looking to down tools and pass on their skills and knowledge to others.
