Boston College currently has a full-time teaching post within the Engineering Department.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an innovative, forward-thinking lecturer to join our growing engineering department. We are looking for a talented and enthusiastic qualified Engineer to join our team to deliver a high-quality provision who has a passion for the subject.

You will contribute to the design and delivery of the curriculum, assisting with the growth and development of our provision. It is our vision for this new member of the team to enhance our current delivery and contribute towards developing a curriculum that meets the needs of our local employers.

We are particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in electrical engineering, including electrical principles such as electrical circuits, Ohm's law, power calculations, transformers, single- and three-phase systems, motors and generators. Knowledge of electrical safety regulations, safe isolation procedures, lockout/tagout, electrical testing and safe working practices is also important. Candidates should have experience of electrical maintenance, including reading electrical schematics, cable preparation and termination, inspection and testing, fault diagnosis, component replacement and functional testing. Knowledge of industrial electrical systems, including motor control circuits, contactors, relays, protection equipment and associated electrical maintenance activities, is also desirable. Knowledge or experience of PLCs, industrial automation, pneumatics and hydraulics would be advantageous, although not essential.

Teaching experience/possession of a teaching qualification would be advantageous but not essential as training will be provided to the correct applicant. We offer a competitive employment package including an enhanced package of support for Teaching and Learning staff who are new to teaching.

If you think that you have the qualities, skills, and aspirational attitudes to join the Engineering team we look forward to hearing from you.
