Are you an Electrical Engineer who enjoys explaining how things work just as much as building them?
Whether you’re a graduate engineer or a hands on electrical professional, this role offers a unique opportunity to step away from shifts, overtime, and site work, without stepping away from engineering.

Job title:

Electrical Engineer

Job Description:

We’re looking for Electrical Engineers to join us as Academic Instructors, helping to train and develop the next generation of engineers supporting the UK’s defence capability as part of Project Selborne – more details here: Royal Navy education & training Selborne | Careers at Capita

👉 No teaching experience needed
👉 Full instructor training provided
👉 Achieve a Level 3 Instructional Qualification

Why this role is different:

✅ Social working hours – no shifts, no nights, no overtime
✅ Stable, long‑term role supporting a critical national programme
✅ Structured training pathway to become a qualified instructor (Level 3)
✅ Use your engineering knowledge without the physical demands of site work
✅ Real purpose – your impact is seen through the people you train

This is an ideal role if you:

• Enjoy mentoring, coaching, or explaining technical concepts
• Want better work–life balance without leaving engineering behind
• Are ready for a more sustainable, people‑focused career path

What you’ll be doing

• Deliver classroom‑based electrical engineering instruction
• Support learners through theory, problem‑solving, and practical understanding
• Assess learner progress and provide constructive feedback
• Continuously develop your own instructional and technical skills
• Contribute to a professional, supportive learning environment

You’ll be fully trained and supported to succeed as an instructor — we’ll teach you how to teach.

Who we’re looking for

We welcome applications from:

• Graduate Electrical Engineers
• Time‑served electricians or electrical engineers
• Engineers from industrial, manufacturing, defence, utilities, or maintenance backgrounds

If you can explain electrical principles clearly and want to pass on your knowledge, we can train you for the rest.

This role is offered on a term time basis working 45 weeks per year, with non-working weeks taken 2 weeks at Christmas and Easter and 3 weeks in August. The salary will therefore be pro rata’d and calculated to include contractual annual leave entitlement and bank holidays.
