As one of the largest government-owned TAFEs, we offer 600+ courses across multiple campuses, including Chadstone, Moorabbin, Glen Waverley, Eildon, and Melbourne's CBD. Our hands-on learning approach is supported by state-of-the-art facilities and strong industry partnerships, ensuring students gain the skills needed for successful careers. We foster a supportive, inclusive environment that encourages both staff and students to grow, innovate, and make a positive community impact.
The Opportunity:
The Engineering Department, based at Moorabbin, offers pre-apprenticeship, apprenticeship, and Certificate IV programs that support the development of skilled professionals across various engineering disciplines. The Certificate II Pre-Apprenticeship program introduces students to foundational engineering skills, while the Certificate III and IV qualifications focus on fabrication and welding, aligned with the demands of the clean energy economy. These programs integrate closely with electrical and renewable energy training to reflect contemporary industry practices and technological advancements.
We are seeking an experienced and passionate teacher to deliver the Certificate II in Engineering Studies (Fabrication Stream) and the Certificate IV in Engineering - Fabrication and AutoCAD Pathway. The Certificate II program offers secondary school students hands-on experience in metal fabrication, engineering design, and workplace safety, equipping them with foundational skills in welding, machining, and the use of lathes, drills, hand tools, and power tools. Strong welding and fabrication expertise is essential to successfully deliver the practical components of this program.
The Certificate IV program is a specialised post-trade course for qualified engineering tradespersons or apprentices, focusing on advanced fabrication techniques and AutoCAD skills to support career progression.
Teaching will include both day and evening classes, providing a comprehensive and engaging learning experience for a diverse range of students. This is an excellent opportunity to share your industry expertise and inspire the next generation of engineering professionals.
