Maintenance Operations Assessment Writer
Would you like to be involved with supporting the production of assessments for City & Guild’s new qualifications in Maintenance Operations?
We are looking for a competent industry expert to join us in producing assessment content for our Maintenance Operations qualification.
We are looking to recruit an assessment writer to produce on demand, multiple choice question papers.
Further details of what these roles consist of can be found in the attached Role Profile. Further detail on these elements, including sample assessments, can be found in the qualification specification on the Technical Occupational Entry in Construction qualifications and training courses | City & Guilds.
This examiner role gives you the opportunity to work alongside your current job, to build additional income with competitive daily rates, and to continue to develop your own skills and development.
For more information, please see the Role Profiles and Person Specification
We are looking for examiners to help produce Multiple-Choice questions (MCQ) initially, with ongoing maintenance of the examinations required when needed.
The pathways we are recruiting for are 7255-255 and 7255-256, with the following content:
- 7255-255 - Plastering and rendering repairs and maintenance, Remedial painting and decorating works and Using carpentry and joinery skills for repairs and refurbishment.
- 7255-256 - Tiling repairs and maintenance, Maintenance of plumbing and drainage systems, Preventative and corrective maintenance of building systems and Corrective maintenance of external property areas.
As part of the recruitment process, we will explain more about the requirements and on-going commitments of the roles. We will also ask you to attend a short call with members of our assessment team. The discussion will support us in identifying your experience and availability.
In terms of time commitment, most of this work can be completed in your own time provided you can meet our deadlines. However, successful applicants will be invited to attend a mandatory one-day MCQ writing training course. This will be held in February 2026.
Following successful completion of the training, work would be commissioned in the following weeks. The writer will need to attend one full-day meeting to evaluate the assessment content. This is expected to take place in April/May 2026. These meetings would be planned in advance and will be online. Maintenance work may be required as and when on an ongoing basis.
Applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis between now and January 2026. When completing your application, it is essential you read the person specification fully, and map your application to show where you meet the requirements set out. Please note applications that do not demonstrate meeting the person specification may be declined or delayed.
We look forward to receiving your application.
