Prior experience in engineering, project-based learning, and design work is desirable. Strong communication skills, collegiality and the ability to inspire students to innovate and create are essential. The ideal candidate for this position is a person with wide-ranging interests who is eager to embrace the challenges and benefits of collaborating with colleagues in other disciplines with the goal of integrating technology throughout the VMS curriculum.

Candidates should have an interest in and experience with outdoor education such as hut trips, alpine skiing, hiking, rafting, etc.  In addition, a willingness to be a part of the VMS community is important.

This position requires a Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similar STEAM field and at least 3 years of relevant experience; experience in a middle and/or high school setting is preferred.
