• Setting up practical activities involving wood, metal, plastics and other materials.

• Maintaining machinery, tools and workshop equipment.

• Checking equipment and reporting faults or maintenance concerns.

• Monitoring stock and ordering supplies.

• Ensuring workshops are clean, organised and safe.

Previous Design and Technology technician experience within a school is highly desirable. Candidates with relevant workshop, manufacturing or technical experience may also be considered.
