Established in 2003, Utilita is the UK's first energy company created to help customers use less energy, by giving them better control via digital technology. We are a pioneer in smart technology that empowers households to use and waste less energy.

If so, we have a great opportunity for you to join our Warrington training academy, recognised as the “Apprenticeship Employer of the year 2025” following the success of our pioneering Smart Meter Engineer apprenticeship. The training and development of our engineers has played a big part in our academy’s growth and success. As a Technical Trainer Assessor, you will play a key role in maintaining this standard.

Engineers must have a permit to operate for them to carry out work, therefore, you will train and assess engineers as they go through the process of obtaining this. Training will be delivered to both skilled and unskilled individuals as well as commercial delivery, so you will conduct robust assessments and provide developmental feedback.

Day to day you will:

• Train new starters and assess capabilities in line with internal and external standards;
• Assess engineers at renewal dates;
• Maintain up to date knowledge of smart meter installations through practical installs;
• Provide technical and operational reports to key stakeholders;
• Support Field Managers and Auditors by completing work in progress and post install completion audits on engineers.

You will have experience in a training/assessor role, holding a TAQA qualification or equivalent. The addition of holding a Level 3 certificate in education and training or equivalent would be desirable. You will also have experience as a Dual Fuel Smart Meter Engineer and hold valid CCN1 and MET1 accreditations. You will also have Internal & EUSR accreditation – Single phase, Single off Multi, Multi Rate and Multi Phase.

This role comes with a car allowance, so will be required to hold a full UK driving licence for travel to field assessments with apprentices and new engineers. Using your motivational and communication skills you will have the ability to lead and inspire learners in an engaging environment. Your role might involve having access to some sensitive information, so you’ll most likely need to go through some enhanced security vetting.

Our employees, just like our customers, come from all walks of life, and we’re fuelled in championing diversity, inspiring an inclusive culture, and enabling an environment where you can be your authentic self.
