CITB aims to lead the construction sector by example to ensure fairness, inclusion and respect for all. We seek to build a workforce that reflects Britain’s diverse population, and people from under-represented groups are encouraged to apply for vacancies. Our main objective is to create a culture that helps all our customers strive towards a workforce that is reflective of today’s society. Working for CITB gives you the opportunity to make a difference to the health and safety of the UK construction industry.

About the Role

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced assessment professional to shape the future of construction industry assessments.

As an Assessment & Testing Technical Developer, you'll lead the design, development and continuous improvement of CITB's health, safety and technical assessment portfolio. Working alongside technical specialists, subject matter experts and product teams, you'll create robust, accessible and innovative assessments that accurately measure competence and support meaningful learning.

This is a highly specialist role where you'll combine evidence-based assessment design, data analysis and question bank management to ensure our assessments remain valid, reliable and fit for purpose. You'll also play a key role in introducing new approaches, including the responsible use of AI-assisted assessment development, while ensuring quality, fairness and regulatory compliance remain at the heart of everything we produce.

If you have a strong background in assessment development within adult learning, further education or awarding organisations—and enjoy influencing best practice, solving complex assessment challenges and working with a wide range of stakeholders—we'd love to hear from you

A construction industry background is not essential. We're looking for exceptional assessment expertise and a passion for creating high-quality assessments that make a real difference.
