Lead Technical Trainer

Business Function Introduction:The Technical Training function delivers electrical training and competency assessments for employees and contractors, including LV/MV cable jointing and termination, smart metering.Job Summary:Deliver technical training and conduct practical and knowledge-based competency assessments in low- and medium-voltage cable jointing and termination and smart metering. Plan and deliver training separately from certification assessments. Ensure that activities, equipment, workshop arrangements and assessment records comply with approved procedures, manufacturer instructions and applicable client requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver theoretical and practical training in LV/MV cable jointing and termination and smart meter installation, inspection and testing. Prepare lesson plans, exercises and materials aligned with approved programs.
• Demonstrate correct cable identification and preparation, semi-conductive screen removal, insulation preparation, connector installation, joint assembly and termination. Demonstrate relevant smart metering tasks.
• Prepare the workshop, assessment stations, de-energized cable samples, joint and termination kits, meters, tools and consumables before each session.
• Verify equipment suitability, condition, inspection and maintenance status, and calibration where applicable. Confirm that crimping dies, connectors and accessories match the task; remove defective items from service.
• Complete risk assessments and pre-session safety checks. Verify PPE, safe isolation where applicable, fire protection and emergency arrangements. Enforce approved safety procedures and stop unsafe work immediately.
• Confirm candidate eligibility, approved assessment documents, site readiness, required equipment and applicable client requirements before starting each assessment.
• Conduct practical and knowledge-based assessments in cable jointing, termination and smart metering using approved task instructions, criteria and manufacturer requirements. Apply consistent conditions and maintain impartiality.
• Keep training and coaching separate from assessment and reassessment sessions. Assessments on the agreed cable samples are conducted de-energized; any electrical test requires its approved procedure and safety controls.
• Observe candidate performance, collect evidence, record the basis of competency decisions and submit results within delegated authority. Apply approved critical-failure criteria and protect assessment materials.
• Provide assessment feedback and conduct reassessments, where applicable, in accordance with approved procedures. Do not provide training or coaching during assessment or reassessment sessions.
