RAIL ENGINEER – END POINT ASSESSOR

Job

£30,000 to £40,000 per annum

Permanent

Remote

ASSESSOR JOBS

JOB DESCRIPTION

Rail Engineer End Point Assessor. Home based role with travel. The salary is negotiable.

Are you an experienced Rail Engineer interested in moving into the Training sector, using your experience to assess Apprentices at the end of their studies?

An ideal candidate would be someone who has worked their way up into a Rail Engineer role, from being a fitter or mechanic, but this is not essential.

This isn’t a Teaching / Tutor role – is it assessing the competence of Apprentices at the end of their Apprenticeships.

Apprentices will typically be working in the following roles:

Track Engineer,
Rail Civil Engineer,
Asset Engineer,
Rail Systems Integration Engineer,
Rail Project Engineer,
Approvals and Certification Engineer,
Lead Signal Design Engineer,
Signalling & Control Systems Engineer, Telecomms Engineer,
Traction and Rolling Stock Engineer,
Rail Electrification Engineer,
Rail Mechanical Engineer and
Rail Building Services Engineer.

THE ROLE

The main duties of the job will involve:

The development of a range of Rail engineering-related end-point assessments, that relate to your area of expertise. You will be involved in developing the following material:

Writing questions for Knowledge Tests
Developing Professional Discussions/Interviews
Designing Practical Specifications
Preparing and maintaining official company documentation for these assessments

A major part of the role is being able to independently research subjects and produce appropriate content for apprentices to be assessed on.

You will be trained by the organisation as an End Point Assessor, and will then travel across the country assessing Rail Engineering and Maintenance Apprentices on-site – performing End Point Assessments – so flexibility to travel is required (mileage is paid)

ADDITIONAL INFO

There will also be an option of further training to expand the number of standards (Construction / Engineering subjects) that they you potentially assess. Opportunity to gain a level of professional recognition in your area of expertise e.g. Eng. Tech, I. Eng, C.Eng

The nature of the job will also provide an opportunity to continuously maintain your Continuous Professional Development (CPD).

Applicants will ideally hold relevant Rail Engineering qualifications, have good IT and communication skills, and be interested in moving into the Education and Training side of the industry.

Your Ultimate Guide to Quality Assurance: IQA & EQA

Blog

By Katherine Little

Published 9th Feb 2023 | Blog

Discover the Difference Between Internal and External Quality Assurance!

Quality Assurance is all about making sure that products and services are the best they can be, avoiding problems, and improving them continuously. But did you know that there are two different methods of Quality Assurance – Internal Quality Assurance (IQA) and External Quality Assurance (EQA)? Let’s dive in and find out what sets them apart!

Internal Quality Assurance

Let’s have a closer look at the IQA. The IQA is the process of monitoring the teaching, learning, and assessment activities of learners at a training provider. This is done by an internal member of staff known as the Internal Quality Assurer (or simply the Quality Manager).

In most cases, IQAs are supervisors or managers within training centres who are responsible for staff, systems, and procedures. Some may even perform both roles as an Assessor, but they can’t assess their own decisions to avoid conflicts of interest.

Want to become an Internal Quality Assurer? You’ll need two qualifications – the Assessor qualification and the IQA qualification.

External Quality Assurance

EQA is the process of ensuring that assessments and IQA activities are conducted in a consistent, safe, and fair manner. This is done by the Quality Assurer of the Awarding Body, who must be registered with the Training Provider.

EQA monitors the training centre’s processes and practices to ensure they meet the requirements and provides support and advice for areas of improvement. To become an External Quality Assurer, you’ll need the Assessor qualification and an EQA Qualification, which can only be obtained from the Awarding Body, such as Pearson Edexcel.

The IQA and EQA should have a good working relationship throughout the year to ensure the best possible outcome for learners.

If you’re interested in becoming an Internal Quality Assurer, then you will need to head on over to our friends at Brooks and Kirk to see if you’re eligible to complete the course!

If you have any questions about either course then please send us an email at hello@nvqassessor.org.uk and we will be happy to answer any and all questions.

The position does not ask for these so do not feel deterred to apply if you do not possess them. However, it is in our professional opinion you need to have either qualification before applying.
