Instructional Delivery (As Needed)

• Step in as primary instructor during cohort launches, pilot delivery, coverage gaps, or quality-sensitive engagements
• Demonstrate mastery of all three course tracks: LV Terminations & Testing, LV Motor & Equipment Wiring, and MV Termination/Maintenance/Inspection, to model expected delivery quality
• Conduct practical skills assessments and provide structured feedback to learners on lab performance

Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain accurate records of cohort rosters, attendance, assessment scores, and certificates of completion
• Submit structured delivery reports to the Senior Director following each cohort
• Document curriculum observations, lab sequencing issues, and equipment gaps for the Phase 4 refinement cycle
• Ensure all client site access credentials, safety documentation, and instructor certifications remain current

Qualifications

• Minimum 8 years of hands-on field experience in commercial or industrial electrical work, with direct experience in LV systems (up to 1kV) and MV systems (1kV–34kV)
• Demonstrated working knowledge of cable termination, termination hardware, heat shrink and cold shrink systems, crimping, and control cabinet work
• Proficiency with switchgear, motor control systems, VFDs, and load center wiring at a journeyman level or above
• Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, OSHA 1910.269, IEEE 1584, and NETA testing standards
• Minimum 3 years in a supervisory, lead craft, or training role in an industrial or construction environment
• Ability to lead and develop adult learners, including journeyman-level tradespeople with deep field experience
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and workstreams in a fast-moving, client-facing jobsite environment
• Ability to pass client site access, background, and safety requirements

PREFERRED
