What You'll Own

Lead the academic experience — own curriculum delivery across in-person, livestream, and self-paced formats, ensuring every student leaves with real-world, licensure-ready knowledge
Serve as the face of the program — interact with prospective and enrolled students, answer questions with authority and warmth, and represent the school in professional settings
Oversee day-to-day school operations — manage scheduling, course logistics, state compliance requirements, and instructor coordination
Drive student outcomes — monitor student progress, step in to support where needed, and ensure pass rates and licensure results remain strong

Requirements

Active Maine Master Electrician license — or the equivalent credentials and field depth that make you credible in front of students who are still earning theirs
A professional presence — you communicate clearly, carry yourself with authority, and can command a room without a hard hat on
Real-world electrical expertise — whether from the field, project management, estimating, or a combination, you understand how the code connects to actual work
A genuine interest in teaching and mentorship — you don't have to have taught before, but you have to want to; the ability to explain complex material in plain language is non-negotiable
Organizational competence — you can manage competing priorities, keep things running on time, and work well in a small, collaborative environment
Comfort in an office-based, professional setting — this role is on-site Monday through Friday and requires a polished, student-facing demeanor daily
