Expression of Interest (PGD & Electrical)

Skills Trades Training is building a talent pool of experienced registered electricians and certified plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying professionals who may be interested in helping develop the next generation of tradespeople.

You might be looking for a career change now, considering your options over the next 6–12 months, or simply interested in learning what becoming an Industry Trainer involves.

No previous teaching experience is required. We provide training and support to help experienced tradespeople transition into teaching.

Why consider industry training?

• Use your practical experience to prepare the next generation of tradies
• Enjoy more predictable working hours and less physically demanding work
• Remain connected to your trade
• Receive support to develop your teaching and assessment capability
• Explore opportunities that may arise across our national campus network
• Make a meaningful difference to learners beginning their careers

We Are Particularly Interested In Hearing From People Who

• Are New Zealand registered electricians or certified PGD professionals with current industry knowledge
• Have experience supervising, mentoring or developing apprentices or colleagues
• Communicate clearly and enjoy sharing their knowledge
• Are open to developing their skills as an adult educator
• May be interested in permanent, fixed-term, part-time or casual opportunities, subject to future business needs
• Could potentially provide short-term cover or work across more than one location

This Expression of Interest is intended to help us connect with experienced tradespeople ahead of future opportunities. It is not an advertisement for a specific current vacancy or a guarantee of employment or particular working arrangements.

If you would like a confidential, no-obligation conversation about what becoming an Industry Trainer could look like, we would love to hear from you.

Register your interest and tell us a little about your experience, preferred location, availability and what you may be looking for in the future.
