Working pattern: Monday to Friday, typically around 8am–4pm

Salary: Competitive, depending on experience

About the role

BAMCT is looking for an experienced CPCS / NPORS Plant Tester to join our team on a full-time basis.

As a growing training provider, we're looking to bring our testing capability further in-house and reduce our reliance on subcontract testers. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced tester to become a key member of the team and play an important role in the continued development of our training and assessment operation.

You'll be working from our training site, carrying out practical plant assessments and tests across a range of equipment, while working alongside our instructors and wider team to provide a professional, efficient and high-quality service to our customers.

We're looking for someone who is technically competent, professional and approachable, with a strong understanding of plant operations and assessment standards.

The role

Your primary responsibility will be the delivery of CPCS and NPORS testing and assessment in a safe, fair and professional manner.

Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:

• Conducting CPCS and NPORS practical tests and assessments
• Ensuring assessments are carried out in accordance with the relevant scheme requirements and standards
• Preparing plant, equipment and assessment areas for testing
• Maintaining accurate assessment and candidate records
• Providing clear and professional feedback to candidates
• Working closely with our instructors and administration team to coordinate assessments
• Ensuring plant and assessment areas are safe, suitable and ready for use
• Supporting the smooth running of the training centre
• Maintaining a professional relationship with customers, candidates and employers
• Keeping up to date with relevant changes to CPCS, NPORS and industry requirements
• Helping to maintain the high standards that BAMCT expects across its training and assessment provision

There may also be opportunities to support other areas of the business where your experience and qualifications allow.

About you

We're looking for an experienced tester who takes pride in doing things properly and wants to become part of a business rather than simply working on a subcontract basis.

Ideally, you will have:

• Current and relevant CPCS and/or NPORS tester accreditation
• Strong practical experience operating and assessing plant
• A good understanding of the requirements and standards associated with plant testing
• Experience working in a training, assessment, construction, groundworks or plant environment
• A professional and approachable manner
• Good attention to detail and accurate administration
• A strong commitment to health and safety
• The ability to work independently while also being part of a wider team
• A flexible and positive approach to supporting the wider business

We would particularly welcome applications from someone with a broad range of plant experience and multiple testing categories.

This is an opportunity to move away from the uncertainty and reliance on subcontract work and become a permanent part of an established and growing training business.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Become a key member of the BAMCT team
• Build a long-term role within the business
• Work from one dedicated training site rather than travelling between multiple locations
• Work alongside experienced plant instructors and training professionals
• Develop and expand your testing categories and industry experience
• Have a varied working week within a practical training environment
• Play a part in developing the testing side of the business
• Work for a company that takes pride in the quality of its training, assessment and facilities

The ideal candidate

We're not simply looking for someone with the right tickets. We're looking for someone who cares about the quality of the service they provide, is reliable, professional and takes pride in their work.

You’ll be representing BAMCT when assessing candidates, so being able to communicate effectively, put people at ease and maintain high professional standards is just as important as your technical knowledge.

If you're an experienced CPCS / NPORS tester who is looking for a permanent position, a stable working environment and the opportunity to become an important part of a growing business, we'd like to hear from you.
