Electrical Instructor – Put Your Experience to Work (No Teaching Experience Needed)

Are you an experienced electrician who’s tired of the grind — emergency calls, long jobsite hours, tight crawl spaces, ladders all day, and the wear-and-tear on your body?

This is your chance to stay in the trade, share what you know, and build a stable, rewarding career training the next generation of electrical professionals.

We’re looking for industry professionals, not career teachers. If you know electrical work, we’ll teach you how to teach.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an Electrical Instructor, you’ll bring real-world experience into the classroom and lab, showing students how the trade actually works — not just how it looks in a book.

You will:

  • Teach hands-on electrical skills using real equipment and real-world scenarios

  • Demonstrate proper installation, wiring methods, and safety procedures

  • Share jobsite knowledge, troubleshooting techniques, and code best practices

  • Mentor students at different skill levels — from beginners to advanced learners

  • Prepare students for licensing, certification, and real-world success

  • Participate in paid training and ongoing professional development

  • Work independently while being supported by an experienced education team

No lesson plans from scratch, no education degree required — we provide curriculum, training, and support.

Minimum Requirements

  • High School Diploma or GED

  • Valid E-1 or E-2 Electrical license

  • At least 3 years of hands-on electrical experience

  • Strong understanding of electrical theory, wiring methods, and safety standards

  • Ability to work independently and manage your day

  • Strong communication and organization skills

Why This Role?

  • No weekends. No emergency service calls

  • Formal and on-the-job training to become an instructor

  • Make a real impact on students’ lives and careers

  • Extend your electrical career without the physical toll

If you’re ready to step off the jobsite without stepping away from the trade, this could be the next great chapter of your career.
