Job description

Home‑based in the North region of the UK, with some travel required to the London office.

Organisation

With over 110,000 members in 140 countries, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) has been at the heart of the mechanical engineering profession since 1847. We strive to improve the world through engineering by developing engineers, promoting engineering, informing opinion and encouraging innovation.

Role

Are you a passionate, well‑organised individual, ideally experienced with apprenticeship standards, within a Further Education environment, or with a Training Provider? Do you see yourself coordinating apprenticeship assessments with a core focus on compliance and governance?

As an Assessment Coordinator, you will have responsibility for working closely with a team of assessors to schedule and record apprentice assessment activities. You will place particular focus on supporting the rigorous ongoing governance that is required for assessment and the development of assessment processes.

You will manage enquiries from organisations requiring assistance with the delivery and compliance of Assessments for apprenticeship courses. You will coordinate the apprentice assessment journey, track certification, and collate Standards Committee sampling packs, as well as providing the secretariat function for the EPA Standards Committee and Centre review meetings. This will include, but is not limited to, arranging meeting rooms, sending invitations, and distributing and collating agendas and minutes.

Additionally, You Will

• Provide first class customer service to different stakeholders, from training providers to governance committees
• Support the creation and development of assessment material
• Ensure assessments are conducted within agreed timescales
• Support accurate assessment activity forecasting

Working as part of a small and passionate team, who are all home‑based, this role will require you to be a self‑starter and able to maintain assessment processes independently.

Travel will be required in order to attend assessment operation meetings and, additionally, on a less frequent basis, to attend on‑site meetings or events with providers and employers.

About You

• Experience of team working in a coordination role within a highly customer‑focused environment
• Experience of managing conflicting priorities
• Experience of using CRM, CMS and database programmes
• The ability to work on your own initiative, organise and prioritise your workload and meet regular deadlines
• The ability to independently undertake desk research via the internet or telephone
• Excellent administration skills with attention to detail
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills required to build effective working relationships
• Excellent IT skills, including MS Office and Excel

Benefits

• Salary of circa £28,000 per annum, depending on experience
• 26 days holiday per annum plus Bank Holidays
• An extra day off for your birthday
• Benefits, including stakeholder pension scheme, life assurance and private health cover
• Continuous training and career development
• A range of wellbeing benefits to encourage a healthy work‑life balance

This is a fantastic opportunity for a customer‑focused individual with great admin skills to take their career in a new direction as part of our internationally recognised institution. Gaining exposure to a wide variety of organisations, you will have the chance to cement IMechE as a key organisation in the engineering and manufacturing apprenticeship process. You will support the next generation of engineering experts to graduate from their apprenticeships into the professional engineering world and an Ofqual Recognised Assessment Organisation. We champion excellence and promote progression in all that we do, and with Investors in People Gold accreditation, you can be certain that your professional growth and success, as well as employee wellbeing, will be a priority for us.

The closing date for applications is 2nd January 2026.

Other organisations might call this role Apprenticeship Coordinator, Apprenticeship EPA Coordinator, Apprenticeship Assistant, or Apprenticeship Administrator.
