At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as a Vehicle Technician Trainer at MOD Lyneham, near Chippenham, Wiltshire.

Ready to take your career in a new direction? At Babcock, we value the deep expertise that comes from hands-on experience and we offer a unique opportunity to channel that knowledge into a rewarding new path. In this training role, you’ll use your technical background to deliver high‑quality instruction, develop and update course materials, and support learners as they build the skills needed to work confidently across a range of military vehicles and equipment. You’ll assess trainee progress through written and practical evaluations, provide constructive feedback, and help guide their development through coaching, mentoring, and targeted interventions. If you’re looking to make a meaningful impact while expanding your own skills in a professional training environment, this could be the ideal next step.

Day-to-day, you’ll have the following responsibilities:

• Deliver engaging, hands-on training to military students using modern teaching methods and pre-set course materials.
• Prepare lesson plans, training aids, and assessments to support course delivery.
• Maintain your own professional development and ensure training content remains current and relevant.
• Collaborate with colleagues to continuously improve training delivery and outcomes.
• Monitor and support trainee development, providing feedback and remedial training where needed.

You'll be working full-time, Monday to Friday (37 hours per week), based on site at MOD Lyneham, approximately 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Chippenham and 10 miles (16 km) south-west of Swindon.

• IT literate, with working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Enthusiastic and articulate, with a proactive approach to learning and teaching.
