Part-Time Senior Commercial Electrician Trainer & Field Mentor

Use your commercial electrical experience to train the next generation without taking on full-time field work. CSL Technology Solutions is looking for an experienced commercial electrician to train, mentor, and support our electrical field technicians.

• Provide field support, job walk-throughs, and troubleshooting guidance
• Help identify technician skill gaps and recommend practical training steps
• Help develop checklists, training notes, field standards, bucket work expectations, and practical skill expectations
• Support CSL’s safety-first culture
