An ability to pro-actively anticipate teachers needs would be advantageous, as would employing your expertise in developing new projects. The department has a broad range of equipment, and the successful candidate will need to feel as confident using a 3D printer and laser cutter as they do a bandsaw and lathe. Full training will be provided on all equipment, as will DATA Health and Safety training, for the successful candidate. An interest in DT is required and although a DT or technical background would be advantageous, it is not essential as full training will be given.
