Job Description

Overhead Lines Instructor (Train the Trainer Opportunity) 📍 Manchester-based (90% local work) | 💷 £50,000 – £63,654 (DOE) |🕒 Full-time | Monday–Friday | 40 hours
 
Ready to come off the tools… but not step away from the industry? If you’re an experienced Overhead Lines professional looking to stay hands-on without the constant travel and working away, this is your chance to take your career in a new direction.
 We’re working with a leading technical training provider who is looking for a time-served industry expert to step into an Instructor role—and they’ll train you to be a trainer.
 
This is ideal for someone who:
 
✅ Has solid overhead lines experience
 ✅ Is physically fit and enjoys practical work
 ✅ Wants to be home most nights (Manchester-based 90% of the time)
 ✅ Is ready to pass on their knowledge to the next generation

This is not a classroom-heavy role—around 80% of your time will be spent delivering practical, hands-on training as follows:

Deliver high-quality practical training in overhead line construction & maintenance
Support classroom-based learning when required
Design and develop engaging training programmes
Assess learners against industry standards (NVQ / Diploma / End Point Assessment)
Ensure all training is delivered safely and in line with legislation
Work closely with industry clients to meet training needs
Support learners to achieve recognised qualifications
We are keen to hear from applicants from the trade—someone who’s done the job and can teach it.
 
Essential skills:

10 years’ experience in electricity distribution / overhead lines
Strong overhead line construction & maintenance background
Previously held (or currently hold) relevant authorisations
Good understanding of LV/HV systems
Full UK driving licence
Physically fit and comfortable working in practical environments
Desirable (but can be developed):

Teaching / training qualification (e.g. PTLLS)
Assessor qualification (D32/33 or equivalent)
IOSH / NEBOSH or similar
👉 Don’t tick every box? That’s okay—full training and development support is available.
 
Why Make the Move? This is a rare opportunity to stay in the industry you know, while improving your work-life balance:

✅ Be home most nights – 90% Manchester-based
✅ No more constant working away
✅ Stable, structured working week (Mon–Fri)
✅ Long-term career progression into training & development
 🕒 Hours:

Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week
Start: 7:30/8:00am – Finish: 4:00/4:30pm🌴 Holiday:

33 days (including bank holidays & Christmas shutdown)
+1 day at 5, 7 & 10 years’ service💼 Benefits:

Pension (5% employee / 3% employer)
Health scheme (HSF Level 2)
Perkbox discounts
Cycle to Work scheme
Make the Shift If you’re ready to step away from the tools full-time—but still want a hands-on, respected role in the industry, this could be the perfect next move.
