We're looking for a Mechatronics Systems Training Engineer to design and develop world-class technical training for Labman's engineers.
This is a unique opportunity to combine engineering expertise with learning and development, helping engineers build the skills and confidence needed to operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and support complex laboratory automation systems.

Working closely with engineering, support, and operations teams, you'll help establish a structured and scalable approach to technical capability development at Labman.

- Design practical exercises and assessment activities for different skill levels
- Support the introduction of induction, foundation, and advanced training pathways
- Ensure engineers have access to effective learning resources and hands-on training opportunities
- Maintain training records and support training planning activities
- Work with engineering and support teams to ensure training reflects current products and technologies
- Prepare internal trainers and external providers to deliver technical training effectively
- Capture and organise technical knowledge for new systems entering service
- Gather feedback and continuously improve training materials, rigs, and learning experiences
What You'll Need
- Strong technical background in laboratory automation, robotics, electromechanical systems, or similar engineering environments
- Ability to understand and explain complex technical concepts clearly
- Experience creating technical documentation, guides, or training materials
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities effectively
- A proactive approach to problem solving and continuous improvement
- Experience maintaining accurate records and documentation
- Passion for helping others develop technical skills and knowledge

- Electrical and mechanical fault finding
- Use of multimeters, oscilloscopes, CAN loggers, or similar diagnostic tools
- CAD software, particularly SolidWorks
- Adult learning principles or instructional design
- Developing practical engineering training programmes
- Knowledge management and technical knowledge capture
Company Benefits
- 33 days annual holiday (rising to 38 over 5 years) including public holidays
- Company profit share scheme
- 5% employer pension contribution (no upper earnings cap)
- Aviva Healthcare
- Travel opportunities in various roles
