You will ensure that materials are ordered, prepared, and available to support practical teaching, and you should display a good working knowledge of health and safety in a technical environment.
The successful candidate will ideally have skills and experience in a range of practical and technical skills, including 3D printing, laser cutting, CNC operation, and the use of design & technology and food technology equipment and machinery, and operating fabrication workshop machinery to support the labs but full training will be provided.
