Senior Workshop Technician

Job Summary:

A Senior Workshop Technician is generally regarded as someone who can direct and lead personnel in order to achieve the outcomes of the work scope.

Due to the relatively small size of the team the Senior Workshop Technician must also be hands on and capable of carrying out maintenance and operation tasks as required. It is for this reason that operational experience forms an important part of the criteria for this grade.

The Senior Workshop Technician is expected to coach colleagues in all aspects of workshop activities and maintenance. To this end, formal assessment qualifications are often required, and their ability to assess personnel is assessed in line with IMCA guidelines.

In practice there is some overlap between Senior Workshop Technician and Workshop Manager. It is not the intention of this programme to limit the technical activities undertaken by a Senior Workshop Technician when they are clearly capable of undertaking some of the responsibilities of the Workshop Manager grade, at the discretion of the Workshop Manager and/or employer.

• Minimum HNC in Electrical or Mechanical Discipline
