You will design and construct test rigs as required, using the overhead crane following relevant safe systems of work and perform materials testing and demonstrate materials testing equipment to students and others. You will also embark on training in new technologies as they arise and enlarge personal skill sets to reflect the civil and mechanical technical needs of the School.

You will be educated at Grades A – C in GCSE Maths, English and Science and will hold (or be working towards completion in 6 months) a HNC in Civil Engineering or equivalent qualification.
