The Role: We are looking for a passionate and innovative Training Coordinator. In this pivotal role, you will have the opportunity to influence the growth of early-career engineers and reinforce our reputation as the leader in the industry through training initiatives for both our internal teams and external industry professionals.

Our internal training is technical for high achieving graduates who want to excel and become leaders in the industry later in their career. To do that, they need the gold-standard training during their graduate programme that accelerates their learning and helps them grasp complex concepts quickly, to use in real world contexts. Our external training is designed for professionals within the industry — those looking to deepen their technical expertise, master complex regulations, or explore advanced concepts in a practical, accessible way. If you are proactive, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Internal Training: Design and implement strategies to maintain technical training at a background level throughout the graduate programme, including organising dedicated research projects. Collaborate with Senior Engineers to coordinate ongoing, structured on-the-job training aligned with development needs and business goals. Lead in gaining CIBSE/IChemE accreditation of FairHeat’s Graduate Programme. Develop and maintain a detailed technical skills matrix to track and guide the professional growth of graduate engineers. Organise and manage the onboarding technical training programme for graduate engineers, ensuring smooth delivery and continuous improvement.
• External Training: Collaborate with Senior Engineers to coordinate the production of the content of external training courses. Identify and help to implement innovative teaching methods, including visuals, practical exercises, and digital platforms, to enhance learner engagement. Ensure all external courses meet CPD (Continuing Professional Development) requirements and industry standards. Work closely with subject matter experts to develop technical training materials, courses, and programmes. Support the facilitation and presentation of training sessions where needed, with opportunities to deliver less technical content, if qualified.
• Administration and Continuous Improvement: Manage training schedules, venues, and resources to ensure the smooth delivery of programmes. Collect feedback from participants to assess the effectiveness of training and identify areas for improvement. Maintain accurate records of training activities and certifications. Stay updated on industry trends and innovations in training delivery to bring fresh ideas to our programmes.

Academic or equivalent professional qualification or experience in education, instructional design, technical learning and development or other relevant area. Proven track record as an expert facilitator preferably in a technical context. Proven experience of learning.
