Purpose of the role

The technical instructor’s main responsibility will be to instruct SPTS customer service engineers how to install and repair SPTS PVD modules. The instructor will be required to analyse the knowledge required by the CSE’s and build structured training courses to meet these requirements. In addition to training SPTS engineers, training will also be required to SPTS customers. Customer training may be delivered at the SPTS training facility or at the customer site so some international travel will be vital, as well as working closely with the SPTS engineering teams to develop training for new products. As well as face to face training, a key element will be partnering with the multimedia team to develop online training courses and AR/VR applications. Although this position will focus on SPTS PVD modules, there may be a requirement for the instructor to cross train and deliver training for other products.
