What you'll be doing
This is a practical, workplace-based training role.
Rather than spending every day in a classroom,



you'll work directly with students and apprentices in real construction environments.

You'll be responsible for:
Delivering quality, practical training and assessment through face-to-face workplace visits and online and on the job assessments

You'll have the independence to manage your students and schedule while being backed by an experienced training team when you need support.

Ideally, you'll bring:
Significant hands-on experience within the building and construction industry
Relevant trade qualifications and demonstrated experience inCarpentry,



Waterproofing and/or Wall and Floor Tiling
ACertificate IV in Training and Assessment, or a willingness to obtain the required training and assessment qualification

A practical, hands-on approach to teaching, training and assessment
Solid communication and interpersonal skills
The ability to work independently and manage your responsibilities
A desire to build a long-term career as part of a strong and supportive team
Previous experience within an RTO or delivering vocational training is highly regarded, but don't rule yourself out if you've never formally been a trainer.
What we offer
At Foundation Training Australia, we value the knowledge and experience that skilled construction professionals can bring to the education space.
In this role, you can expect:
A long term position with a supportive team culture
Competitive remuneration based on qualifications and industry experience
Full-time and contract opportunities
Company car and fuel card
Business phone and computer package
Ongoing professional development and support
Support from an experienced FTA training team
A collaborative and supportive workplace culture

The opportunity to remain connected to your trade without being on the tools every day
The chance to make a genuine difference by passing your knowledge and experience on to the next generation
Ready to make the move from doing the job to teaching it?
You don't need to leave your trade knowledge behind to start a new career.
Your years on the tools are exactly what could make you a great trainer.
Whether you're an experienced Trainer and Assessor or a skilled tradesperson considering education for the first time, we'd like to hear from you.
