Inspire the next generation of women in energy

NESCol is looking for a passionate and forward-thinking Instructor to join its Girls in Energy programme—an exciting initiative designed to spark ambition and empower S3–S6 pupils to explore careers in the dynamic, fast-evolving energy sector.

As part of this role, you’ll deliver the National 5 Girls in Energy qualification, along with engaging activities that promote sustainability, renewables, and the future of energy. You’ll be a key role model—bringing STEM learning to life, building confidence in young women, and helping them visualise their place in the energy workforce of tomorrow.

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Is educated to HNC level or above in an Engineering discipline (or has equivalent industry experience)
  • Has a natural flair for connecting with and motivating young learners
  • Can bring energy, creativity and real-world insight to classroom and outreach settings
  • Ideally holds a recognised Assessor qualification (A1, D32 or equivalent)
  • Holds a driving licence and is able to travel throughout Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire.

Experience in renewables, offshore, or net-zero aligned technologies is a plus—but most important is your enthusiasm to make a lasting impact. This is your chance to be part of a pioneering programme that is not only changing perceptions—but shaping futures.

NESCol is a disability confident employer. We offer a variety of working options in line with business requirements and place great importance on staff wellbeing. We welcome and encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds.
