The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board
Fully remote role (25% travel)
£90,000 per annum
The Engineering Construction Industry Training Board (ECITB) is the employer-led skills, standards and qualifications body for the development of the engineering construction workforce of Great Britain. An arms-length body of the UK Government, the ECITB reports to the Department for Education. Our vision is a trailblazing Engineering Construction Industry where critical infrastructure, energy security and net zero ambitions are achieved.
THE ROLE
This is an exciting time to join ECITB, as we focus on building partnerships, creating more regional skills hubs and growing the value and impact of our work to accelerate UK productivity and growth. Our new Director of Funding and Partnerships will focus on developing relationships within industry and the training and skills ecosystem, work closely with other Directors to help manage our funding strategy and create opportunities to maximise the impact we have across all our responsibilities.

You will be ambitious, commercially and entrepreneurially astute, bring financial acumen and be a strategic thinker. Candidates will need excellent interpersonal skills and a high level of emotional intelligence and have experience in building and sustaining partnerships with a breadth of stakeholders. Bringing a collaborative approach, you will work closely and collegiately with our talented Director team and the rest of our committed staff.
