About the Role:
As part of this exciting project, we are developing our construction provision by launching two apprenticeships (Level 4 and Level 6) in Civil Engineering and are looking for an individual with an innovative and disruptive approach to Civil Engineering and construction education who will develop and drive forward strategies to attract and retain a diverse range of people to our courses. The successful candidate will be committed to building curricula which will develop graduates with the skills and behaviours required by an engineer in the 21st century.
As such we are seeking to appoint a Senior Lecturer (full or fractional) with expertise in Civil Engineering and particularly structural engineering or hydraulics to lead the new course and contribute to the teaching of the Construction portfolio which also includes Construction Management and Quantity Surveying.
You will have a degree or relevant professional qualification and a PhD or Professional Doctorate and/or Chartered Engineer status with a relevant institution (ICE, IStructE, IHE, CIHT). We are particularly interested in candidates with experience using innovative, industry relevant and engaging teaching techniques which focus on non-technical skills development as much as technical.
We are committed to creating an environment where everyone can fulfil their potential and thrive. We welcome and encourage applications from all parts of the community particularly those who are not traditionally associated with engineering.
Informal enquiries can be made to Esther Norton, Assistant Principal at esther.norton@aru.ac.uk
