University of Strathclyde, Bahrain
(Work location: Manama, Bahrain)
Who we are
Great minds. Innovative solutions.
Be part of a vibrant community that celebrates over 200 years of academic excellence, world-class research, and impactful innovation. Located in the dynamic Bahrain Bay, the University of Strathclyde, Bahrain, offers the same high standards of academic excellence and pioneering research that our Glasgow, UK campus is renowned for.
We currently provide eight undergraduate programs in Engineering, Science, and Business, with future phases set to expand our offerings in research and innovation. As a leading international technological university, our mission, inspired by our founding principle as ‘a place of useful learning,’ is to make a positive difference in the lives of our students, society, and the world.
Since 1995, we have been delivering MBA teaching at our international centre in Bahrain. Now, in partnership with S Eleven Educational, we are proud to expand our activities to create an Innovation, Research, and Education Hub.
Our department
The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) is one of the largest and most successful civil engineering departments in Scotland. The department is ranked 1st in Scotland and 3rd in the UK in the Guardian Subject Rankings 2025. We have over 600 students, including 450 undergraduates, 100 taught postgraduates and almost 100 registered research students. We have a strong commitment to widening access and inclusion while maintaining academic quality and an outstanding student experience.
The opportunity
As a civil engineering laboratory supervisor specialising in structures and materials analysis, you will take a proactive role in designing and managing our undergraduate teaching laboratories in Structural Engineering, Hydraulics, Geotechnics, and Materials (including concrete technology labs). In this role, you will utilise your extensive technical ability to contribute to the development of enhanced laboratory components of our UG programme. You will also be responsible for developing the laboratory component of Health and Safety teaching by working closely with academic staff and providing the Director of Laboratories with structured feedback about the overall organisation and management of the teaching labs. In addition to teaching support, you will also provide invaluable technology research support for our postgraduates and research staff, formalising technical procedures for advanced research testing in structural engineering and materials, and training students and staff on the use of advanced digitally controlled automated testing equipment (including H&S implications). You will contribute effectively to wider departmental policy by engaging with department H&S procedures inspired by the ISO 45001 Occupational health and safety. You will support teaching staff with competent advice in the preparation of RAs and report to HoD about non-compliance of technical areas and activities with H&S regulations. You will offer recommendations to more senior managers about policies for equipment and sample storage and organisation of the storage space at the department level.
The University of Strathclyde, Bahrain is a socially progressive institution that strives to ensure equality of opportunity and celebrates the diversity of its student and staff community. Strathclyde is people-oriented and collaborative, offering a supportive working culture with a deep commitment to our equality and diversity.
