Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) is a distinctive, unique institution, rooted in the Liverpool City Region and with a global presence. Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn't exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.
Within LJMU, the Faculty of Engineering and Technology is a creative, innovative, and dynamic team. We are dedicated to creating and communicating knowledge and opportunities to ensure that all of our students can excel within their chosen discipline. We offer courses and carry out research, enterprise, and knowledge transfer across a diverse field, including Computing, Engineering, Maritime Studies, Built Environment, Product Design, and Mathematics.
We are now looking to recruit a talented Senior Technical Officer to support with laboratory teaching and research within the Faculty.

Evidence of complying with Health and Safety standards, particularly in a laboratory environment, would also be a distinct advantage.
In return, we offer an excellent benefits package including generous annual leave entitlement, pension scheme, induction, and development support as well as family-friendly policies.
This is an exciting time to join the university as we deliver the LJMU Strategy 2030 and its vision of LJMU as an inclusive civic university transforming lives and futures, by placing students at the heart of everything we do.
