Compensation & Schedule
Salary: $80,000–$90,000 annually
Delivery Model: 6 weeks of live virtual instruction followed by 3 weeks on campus for intensive, hands-on labs.
What Your Weeks Look Like
In this instructor role, your mission is to take new or early-career associates and equip them with the fundamentals to become capable maintenance technicians in a distribution environment. For six weeks online, you’ll lead clear, well-prepared classes—building concept mastery through demonstrations, discussion, and guided practice. Then, you’ll transition to three weeks in the lab, where every learner gets tools in hand, completes structured builds, and practices safe troubleshooting.
What You’ll Teach (IMT Track)
- Technician Foundations: Hand and power tool use; math basics; metric measurement; fasteners and torque; the role and scope of a maintenance technician.
- Electrical Theory & Measurement: Nature of electricity, circuit analysis, AC fundamentals, capacitors, introductory print reading, and confident multimeter (DMM) usage.
- Hands-on Electrical Labs: Wire stripping; device wiring and testing; DMM functions; Romex wiring; receptacle builds; safe, structured lab execution for all students.
- Motors & Generators: Motor theory, induction and DC motor operation, reading nameplates, frequent failure symptoms, and troubleshooting approaches.
- Circuit Protection: Breakers, industrial fuses, overcurrent protection; identifying shorts, overloads, and ground faults; switching/controls wiring; capacitor wiring labs; electrical troubleshooting exercises.
- Fluid Power Essentials: Introductory hydraulics and pneumatics—system purpose, key components, and basic fault-finding.
- Power Transmission: Belts, chains, bearings, gears, and shaft alignment; hands-on assembly, alignment, tensioning, and inspection.
Instructional Excellence
- Deliver the assigned curriculum with accuracy and clarity in both classroom and lab settings.
- Adhere to the established syllabus and materials; any changes require prior approval from the Senior Director or B2B Curriculum Manager.
- Adjust delivery for varied adult learning backgrounds while maintaining technical rigor and pace.
- Arrive prepared—materials ready, objectives clear, and a plan for interaction and assessment.
- Maintain precise attendance and progress records; identify learners who are off track and intervene early.
Lab Management & Safety
- Stage tools, equipment, and materials before class; ensure systems are operational and the space is organized.
- Uphold PPE usage, OSHA compliance, and professional lab conduct without exception.
- Reset and restore the lab to full operational condition at the end of each cohort.
- Maintain a benchmark standard that reflects pride in the learning environment, not just basic compliance.
Student Engagement & Outcomes
- Hold learners to program standards and competency expectations.
- Foster a respectful, structured, and high-expectation classroom where new-to-the-trade adults can thrive.
- Manage classroom and lab behavior consistently; address issues promptly and professionally.
- Provide clear, timely, and actionable feedback throughout—not only at formal checkpoints.

- Communicate within the scope of your role; escalate out-of-scope questions or concerns to the Senior Director within the same business day.
- Complete reports, documentation, and admin tasks on schedule.
- Proactively flag scheduling needs, equipment issues, and student concerns to the Senior Director.
Qualifications
- High School diploma or GED (minimum); High School or higher education acceptable.
- 5+ years of recent (within the past 10 years) hands-on experience in industrial electrical systems, motor controls, or general maintenance technology.
- Ability to teach from fundamentals through applied labs; this is not an advanced-only audience.
- Comfort working with adult learners who may have no prior formal technical training.
- Strong written and verbal communication; able to work independently and collaboratively.
- Fluency with digital documentation platforms and learning management systems.
- NFPA 70E and OSHA 10 certifications.
Technical Proficiencies
- Troubleshooting of equipment, electrical and mechanical systems
- Preventive maintenance and inspection practices
- Electrical installation, repair, and schematic/panel interpretation
- Industrial electrical experience and systems familiarity
- Lockout/Tagout (LOTO)
- Pneumatics and hydraulics fundamentals; systems and components
- Equipment diagnostics, installation, wiring, repair, and maintenance
- Tape measure reading; mechanical systems and component repair
- HVAC service, installation, troubleshooting, repair, and maintenance
