About the Role

We are seeking a dedicated and proactive Construction Support Technician to join the excellent team at our City Skills Centre. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting both staff and students as we help develop the future construction and Building Services Engineering (BSE) workforce.

The successful candidate will provide practical and technical support across a range of construction trades delivered within the centre. While expert knowledge in all construction disciplines is not essential, previous construction experience would be highly beneficial. This will enable the postholder to effectively assist staff and students in preparing materials, equipment, workshops, and learning environments for both practical and classroom-based sessions.

A significant focus of the role will be supporting our Brickwork department; therefore, experience in brickwork or a related trade would be advantageous. In addition, candidates with forklift truck experience or certification are encouraged to apply.

This role would suit an organised, flexible, and hands-on individual who enjoys working as part of a collaborative team and supporting learners to achieve their potential.

Join a friendly, supportive, and ambitious team as we continue to grow through success.
