A surge in interest and demand for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects across the UK has prompted Coleg Cambria to expand its team with a range of new engineering education roles.
The college is currently advertising vacancies at its prestigious Institute of Technology (IoT), located in Deeside and Wrexham. Opportunities are available for Lecturers in Mechanical Engineering, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, and Work-based Learning.
This national push to strengthen STEM education comes amid a growing shortage of qualified teachers in both secondary and higher education. The emphasis is now on attracting experienced industry professionals to transition into academic roles and share their practical knowledge with learners.
Nick Tyson, Vice Principal for Digital, Engineering and Construction at Coleg Cambria, described the roles as “hugely important” and pivotal for shaping the future workforce.
“In today’s rapidly evolving world, the need for skilled, adaptable engineers and industry professionals has never been greater, and who better to shape that future than those who’ve lived it?” said Nick.
“If you’ve built your career solving real-world problems, leading innovation, or managing complex systems, consider the exciting opportunity of stepping into further education.
“By sharing your knowledge, you don’t just teach — you inspire.”
He continued: “You empower the next generation to think critically, innovate boldly, and adapt swiftly in an agile, ever-changing workforce.
“Education is no longer just in the classroom, it’s a dynamic, collaborative environment where your expertise can ignite potential, bridge industry and academia, and leave a lasting legacy.
“The impact you’ve made in industry can multiply when you help others discover their path within it.”
In addition to competitive salaries and a generous pension scheme, Coleg Cambria offers support for successful candidates to gain the necessary teaching qualifications if they do not already hold them.
The college also promotes bilingualism and encourages applications in Welsh.
