You've spent years mastering the trade. You know the code, you've run the jobs, and you've probably spent more than a few hours explaining things to younger guys on the crew. What if that part — the teaching, the mentoring, the "let me show you how this actually works" — became the whole job?

A growing, well-regarded trade school in Southern Maine is looking for a credentialed electrician ready to step off the tools and into a leadership role that puts your knowledge to work in a different way. This isn't a classroom assistant position — it's a Director of Education opportunity, and it's one of the most impactful things a Master Electrician can do for the next generation of the trade.

What You'll Own

  • Lead daily school operations, including instructor oversight and administrative staff
  • Ensure all curriculum remains current with state licensing requirements and NEC updates
  • Maintain compliance with Maine education and licensing regulations, including audit readiness and accurate record-keeping
  • Monitor student progress, resolve escalated issues, and keep the student experience front and center
  • Work directly with ownership to expand programs into new markets and develop new course offerings
  • Support enrollment growth strategies and industry partnerships

Requirements

  • A Maine Master Electrician license — or the credentials and willingness to obtain one
  • At least five years of hands-on experience in the electrical industry
  • The kind of presence that earns respect in a room — polished, professional, and able to communicate clearly with students, staff, and partners
  • Some form of leadership or management experience, whether on a job site, in an office, or both
  • Teaching or training experience is a strong plus — but if you've never formally taught and you're drawn to it, that conversation is worth having
  • Familiarity with online or hybrid learning platforms is a bonus

Career changers welcome: if you've been a project manager, estimator, or field supervisor and you're ready to move into a professional office environment, this role is worth a serious look.

Benefits

On-site role with consistent Monday–Friday schedule

A leadership seat at a growing organization with real runway — expansion into new markets and programs is already in motion

The chance to shape how the next wave of Maine electricians learns the trade
