General description

Inspire the Next Generation of Engineers with TDR!

Are you an experienced engineer looking to elevate your career? Join our Apprenticeship team at TDR, a leading force in Engineering Apprenticeships across the North East. This is your chance to step away from the shop floor and into a role where you can shape the future of engineering.
At TDR, we partner with local businesses to provide top-tier advice, support, and training in Engineering, Manufacturing, and Science apprenticeships. Our comprehensive programmes lay the strongest foundations for those passionate about building a rewarding career in STEM.

About the role:

As a Training Officer, you’ll help apprentices turn workplace experience into real skill and a recognised qualification. You’ll manage your own group of learners, visit them at work, and guide them through to their end-point assessment.

This is a general role. We want people from a range of engineering backgrounds, including:

• Mechanical engineering or maintenance.
• Machining, including manual and CNC.
• Quality, inspection and continuous improvement.
• Engineering technical support.

If you’re a skilled engineer who enjoys helping others learn, this is a chance to step off the tools and pass on what you know. You don’t need teaching experience. We’ll train you.

What you’ll do:

• Manage a caseload of engineering apprentices from start to finish.
• Visit learners at work, usually every 4 to 6 weeks, to check progress and set clear targets.
• Coach apprentices to build their knowledge, skills and behaviours against their apprenticeship standard.
• Help learners build a strong portfolio of evidence.
• Prepare apprentices for their end-point assessment.
• Support learners with English, maths and digital skills where needed.
• Keep accurate, up-to-date records on our learner systems.
• Hold regular progress reviews with apprentices and their line managers.
• Build good working relationships with employers.
• Spot learners who are falling behind or struggling, and act early.
• Follow our safeguarding, Prevent, and health and safety duties.

What you’ll bring

Essential

• Relevant industrial/vocational experience and qualifications in engineering and manufacturing.
• Good IT skills and confidence using online systems.
• A full UK driving licence and access to a car for work visits.
• Patience, and a real interest in helping people learn

Desirable

• An assessor qualification (TAQA, A1 or CAVA), or willingness to work towards one.
• A teaching qualification (such as Level 3 Award in Education and Training), or willingness to work towards one.
• Experience of training, mentoring or supervising apprentices.
• Knowledge of apprenticeship standards and end-point assessment.
• A Level 4 qualification or above in engineering.

What We Offer?

Joining TDR means being part of a mission-driven organisation dedicated to promoting learning and vocational education in STEM fields. We offer a supportive environment where your contributions make a real impact.

Our benefits include:

• Competitive Salary
• Company Pension
• Life Assurance
• CPD Annual Allowance
• Company Laptop
• Business Mileage
• Wellbeing Package
• Free on-site parking
• A minimum of 25 days holiday per year, plus 8 Bank Holidays
• Up to 4 additional days of holiday to reward long-term service

TDR is committed to safeguarding and promoting workplace equality, diversity, and British values. The welfare of children and young people is our top priority. All positions are subject to Enhanced DBS Clearance, reference checks covering the last two years of employment, and online screening. Additional checks may be required.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re a motivated, qualified engineer eager to inspire the next generation!
