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.

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 Mass E, A or B Electrical license
-
At least 3 years of hands-on electrical experience
-
Strong understanding of electrical theory, wiring methods, and safety standards
