Technical Drawing Teacher

Job Description

• The Technical Drawing Teacher will be responsible for introducing students to the fundamentals of engineering graphics, spatial visualization, and architectural drafting.
• The ideal candidate will bridge manual drafting board techniques with modern Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, equipping students with essential geometric problem-solving skills and preparing them thoroughly for internal assessments and external examinations (such as WAEC, NECO, or Cambridge IGCSE).

Responsibilities

• Curriculum Delivery: Plan and deliver structured lessons in plane and solid geometry, orthographic projections, isometric drawing, sectional views, and basic architectural detailing.
• Practical Instruction: Guide students through the precise use of manual drafting instruments (T-squares, set squares, compasses) and introduce them to digital design software.
• Exam Preparation: Prepare senior students intensively for both the theoretical and practical drawing components of terminal regional or international examinations.
• Studio Management: Maintain an orderly and well-equipped drafting studio or graphics laboratory. Ensure drawing boards, instruments, and workstation equipment are properly maintained and accounted for.
• Assessment & Grading: Evaluate students' drawing sheets and digital projects promptly and precisely, checking for accuracy, line quality, dimensioning, and neatness.
• Administrative Duties: Maintain accurate records of student progress, attendance, and weekly lesson plans, participating actively in science/technical department meetings.

Education & Experience Requirements

• Education: A Bachelor’s Degree in Education (B.Ed.) in Technical/Vocational Education, or a Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) / Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) / BSc in Architecture plus a Postgraduate Diploma in Education (PGDE).
• Professional Certification: Registration with a relevant national teaching council or regulatory body (such as TRCN) is highly preferred.
• Experience: A minimum of 2–3 years of classroom and studio teaching experience at the secondary school level, with a documented history of strong student performance in external technical drawing examinations.

Key Skills:

• Technical Drawing Expertise: Advanced mastery of geometric constructions, descriptive geometry, and drafting conventions (BS 8888 or equivalent international standards).
• CAD Proficiency: Hands-on competence with industry-standard design software (such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, or similar architectural/engineering tools).
• Spatial Visualization: Exceptional ability to conceptualize three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional drawings and explain these spatial relationships clearly to students.
• Precision & Attention to Detail: A keen eye for dimensional accuracy, lettering, scale representation, and immaculate drawing layout.
• Patience & Guidance: Ability to guide students patiently through complex, multi-step geometric constructions and troubleshooting design errors.

Other Requirements:

• Strong digital literacy, including the ability to manage computer workstations or graphics labs and navigate school management portals.
• High level of professional ethics, integrity, and dedication to fostering analytical, engineering-minded thinking in students.
• Willingness to collaborate with the Science and Technical department heads, workshop assistants, parents, and school administration.

Remuneration & Benefits

• Salary: N150,000 / month. Competitive monthly gross salary, commensurate with qualifications, experience, and institutional scale.
• Benefits: Access to contributory pension schemes, comprehensive health insurance coverage, and opportunities for continuous professional development (CPD).
