Dangle Academy is a purpose-built industrial training facility based in Belfast, Northern Ireland, specialising in work at height, rescue, rope access and safety training for high-risk industries.
The academy delivers practical, industry-focused training across GWO, IRATA, EUSR and workplace health and safety, supporting learners from those entering the industry through to experienced technicians completing refresher training, recertification or additional skills development.
A strong focus on safety, practical competence and realistic training environments underpins all training delivered at Dangle Academy. We place particular value on instructors who can bring real-world industry experience into the classroom and practical training environment.
Role Description
This is an ad-hoc, on-site GWO Instructor role based at our training centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
The GWO Instructor will support the delivery of classroom and practical training in line with Global Wind Organisation standards, with a strong emphasis on safety, work at height, rescue techniques and practical delegate supervision.
Day-to-day responsibilities may include preparing training areas and equipment, delivering classroom and practical sessions, supporting learner development, assessing participant competence, maintaining accurate training records and ensuring training is delivered in line with internal procedures and relevant standards.
The role may suit an experienced GWO instructor, or someone with strong wind industry, work at height, rescue, rope access or safety training experience who is looking to develop further within GWO training delivery.
We are particularly interested in hearing from those based in Northern Ireland, or within a practical travelling distance of Belfast.
