Professional Skills Trainer

Are you passionate about helping people grow their professional skills and confidence? Do you enjoy delivering engaging training and creating high-quality learning experiences? Could you help shape and grow a professional development offering that supports engineers around the world?

At the IET, making our world a better place starts by creating a better place for our people. Our work is exciting and challenging, connecting the people who solve the problems that matter. It means working with us has real meaning and impact, and you’ll grow – professionally and personally – in ways you never thought possible. We’re also making significant investments in our people, including providing a modern, vibrant workplace and embracing hybrid working.

As our Professional Skills Trainer, you’ll design, deliver, and continuously improve a range of professional development training programmes that support engineers and technical professionals throughout their careers. You’ll deliver engaging face‑to‑face and online courses to a wide range of audiences, including members, non‑members, and employer organisations. Alongside delivery, you’ll play an important role in shaping and evolving the training portfolio, helping ensure our learning offering remains relevant, innovative and aligned with customer needs and IET priorities.

This is a varied role that combines training delivery, course development, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the Professional Development team to create high‑quality learning experiences that provide real value and impact for delegates. You’ll also help maintain and improve course materials, contribute ideas for new training products, and support the effective use of online learning platforms. Building strong relationships with customers, trainers and internal stakeholders will be an important part of the role, helping to drive engagement and support the long‑term success of the training portfolio.

Whether you’re delivering workshops, updating learning content, or identifying opportunities to improve the customer experience, you’ll play a key role in supporting professional development across the engineering community.

We’re looking for someone with experience delivering professional training or learning programmes who is passionate about creating engaging and high‑quality learning experiences. You’ll be a confident communicator and presenter, comfortable delivering training to different audiences both in‑person and online. You’ll understand how to adapt your style and content to suit different learning needs, helping delegates feel engaged, supported, and motivated. Strong organisational skills will be important, as you’ll be managing course delivery, maintaining materials, and supporting multiple activities across the training portfolio.

You’ll also be someone who enjoys improving and evolving learning content, using feedback and insight to enhance courses and delivery methods over time. Relationship building will be a key strength. You’ll enjoy working collaboratively with colleagues, customers, and external trainers, building positive partnerships and helping identify opportunities to grow and improve the training offering. Most importantly, you’ll bring a proactive and customer‑focused approach, with a genuine interest in helping people develop professionally and achieve their goals.
