The OPA are looking to appoint a new Mechanical Trainer Assessor, on a 2 Year FTC (fixed-term contract) with the possibility of this role becoming permanent, to develop, implement, and deliver learning and training assessments, development activities, and programmes to cover all engineering roles within OPA.

With a primary focus on all safety critical tasks/roles and Asset Technical posts operating within OPA’s COMAH regulated sites, to ensure the competency of staff (including apprentices) and contractors, are maintained and ensure compliance with current and future regulations.

This newly created role will also be responsible for the coordination and management of the Engineering apprenticeship programme within the organisation.

The role will require the post holder to support the Competence Assurance Manager / Human Resources Director with the ongoing implementation and expansion of the Competence Management System and any other HR related programmes.

OPA operates within the MAH industry and is engaged in the operational and maintenance management of a number of UK OFDs (Oil Fuel Depots), and oversees strategic assets owned by the MoD.

Due to the assets being managed covering sites across, England, Scotland, and potentially overseas, it necessitates a significant amount of travel and need to spend nights away from home in order to carry out the duties required. Therefore, a full (preferably clean) driving licence is essential for the successful candidate. There will also be occasional overseas travel when required.
