The Engineering Institute of Technology (EIT) is seeking a passionate, energetic and hands-on STEM Bootcamp Lead to design, deliver and scale immersive engineering bootcamps for high school students.
This is not a traditional teaching role. You’ll lead practical, high-impact workshops in Perth, coordinating programs nationally, and travelling across Western Australia to connect students to real engineering pathways.
About the Role:
You will be the face of EIT’s school engagement initiative - delivering immersive STEM bootcamps that spark curiosity and inspire students to pursue engineering careers.
Key responsibilities:
- Deliver engaging, hands-on STEM/engineering bootcamps at our Perth campus
- Coordinate and support delivery of bootcamps at our campuses in Melbourne and Brisbane
- Travel regularly across regional Western Australia to run workshops at schools and community hubs
- Design and continuously improve engaging, practical learning experiences aligned to real-world engineering
- Develop structured bootcamp modules, kits, and facilitator guides for scalability
- Manage end-to-end workshop logistics (equipment, setup, safety, scheduling, travel)
- Ensure all sessions meet safety, compliance, and risk management standards
- Represent EIT at school visits, events, expos, career events and outreach initiatives
- Collaborate with marketing to capture and showcase your journey (video, social content, storytelling)
- Build strong relationships with schools, teachers, and key stakeholders (eg. Scitech)
- Track engagement metrics and contribute to program evaluation and improvement
- Support the development of a clear student pathway from Bootcamps into EIT courses (short courses to degrees)
Who We Are Looking For:
This role is ideal for someone who loves teaching, presenting, and making complex ideas simple and exciting.
You might be:
- A teacher (or ex-teacher) looking for a more dynamic, hands-on role
- An engineer with a passion for education, mentoring or outreach
- An international engineering graduate with post-study work rights
- A migrant engineer looking to build local experience and make meaningful impact
What You Will Be Working With
- Hands-on engineering kits (e.g. robotics, electrical, mechanical systems)
- Practical problem-solving challenges and design activities
- Basic coding, simulation, or demonstration tools
- AV and presentation tools for interactive delivery
Desired Experience and Skills:
- A background in engineering, STEM, or a related field
- Strong presentation and communication skills, especially with young audiences
- The ability to simplify complex concepts into engaging, practical experiences
- A practical, hands-on approach to learning (not just theory)
- Confidence working independently and travelling regularly
- Strong organisational and coordination skills
- A willingness to be on camera and part of storytelling/content
- Adaptable and able to think on your feet
- Resilient and solution-oriented in dynamic environments
- A valid driver’s licence and willingness to travel extensively across WA
- Must have a Working with Children (WWC) card or be willing to obtain one
Why Join EIT?
- Be part of a globally recognised engineering education provider
- Play a key role in inspiring the next generation of engineers.
- Enjoy a highly autonomous, varied role (no two weeks are the same)
- Travel across WA and engage with diverse communities
- Help shape a new initiative from the ground up
- Work across programs spanning professional development to doctorate level
Location & Travel
- Based in Perth (West Perth campus, with on site parking)
- Frequent travel across metropolitan and regional Western Australia
- Coordination with Melbourne and Brisbane campuses
- Travel may include overnight and multi-day regional visits
What Success Looks Like
- High student engagement and positive feedback from schools
- Growth in bootcamp participation across WA and nationally
- Strong pipeline of students progressing into engineering pathways
- High-quality, engaging content showcasing the journey
- Well-structured, scalable bootcamp programs and resources
- Strong relationships with schools and repeat partnerships
Your First 90 Days
- Deliver at least one bootcamp at the Perth campus
- Deliver at least one regional WA delivery trip
- Create at least two new bootcamp activities
- Participate in content creation (video/social storytelling)
- Build relationships with partner schools and stakeholders
