Overview
Fuse Energy is a forward-thinking renewable energy company on a mission to deliver a terawatt of clean energy globally. We are creating a fully integrated energy system: from developing utility-scale solar and wind projects to real-time power trading and distributed energy installations. By selling directly to consumers, we lower costs and pass the savings on to our customers.
We're building a new Training Centre in Birmingham to bring engineer training and assessment in-house. We're looking for a Centre Manager to lead it; running the centre day to day, owning its quality and accreditation, and building Birmingham into a fully accredited training operation. This is a leadership and quality-assurance role rather than a hands-on training role: you'll manage the trainers, and you'll be the person who makes sure the centre meets its standards.
Responsibilities
- Run the day-to-day operation of the training centre - facilities, scheduling, budget, and team
- Lead and line-manage the training team
- Own the centre's quality-management system and lead internal quality assurance - independently sampling and verifying trainers' assessment decisions
- Own the centre's accreditation: act as the named point of contact for the awarding bodies, and take the centre through approval and ongoing audits
- Build and maintain the centre's compliance framework - health & safety, safeguarding, data protection, equality & diversity, malpractice and appeals
- Lead health & safety across a site with live gas and electrical practical work
- Drive continuous improvement across the centre's training and quality operations
Requirements
- Level 4 Internal Quality Assurance qualification (IQA/V1, or equivalent), so you can verify assessment decisions across the centre
- Level 3 Award in Education and Training (AET)
- A recognised assessing qualification (TAQA, CAVA, or equivalent)
- Experience managing a training centre, workshop, or similar technical/vocational operation, including managing people and owning a budget
- Hands-on technical background in at least one of our training areas - smart metering (gas and electric), electrical, EV installation, heat pumps, solar, BESS
- Experience owning compliance and quality standards for a training or technical operation - ideally as a point of contact for an awarding body or accreditation scheme
- Health & safety leadership experience across technical or practical work
Nice-to-haves
- IOSH/NEBOSH or equivalent health & safety management qualification
- Experience working as an electrician / JIB Gold Card
- Experience taking a training centre through awarding-body approval
Benefits
- Competitive base salary with performance-related bonuses
- Opportunity to gain meaningful equity options in a fast-growing energy company
- Full-time, stable employment in a rapidly growing sector
- Opportunities for professional development and additional advanced certifications
- The chance to work alongside a world-class team building the future of the global energy grid
