[Hiring] Adjunct Electrical Craft Instructor B2B @StrataTech Education Group

Role Description

The Electrical Craft Instructor delivers instructor-led training courses developed for the client's Electrical Craft Upskilling initiative. This is a contract, project-based role. Instructors are assigned to cohort-based delivery at client-designated project sites over 3–4 week cycles, working with cohorts of 8–12 journeyman-level electricians. Learners are experienced tradespeople, not entry-level students. This role demands technical credibility in the field, the ability to facilitate hands-on lab work at a high professional standard, and the judgment to engage journeymen as peers while maintaining delivery structure and assessment rigor. Technical depth and field credibility are the baseline.

Program Delivery

• Deliver all assigned course modules in strict accordance with approved StrataSKILLS curriculum aligned to NEC 2023, NFPA 70E 2024, OSHA 1910.269, and IEEE 1584.
• Facilitate hands-on lab activities with absolute emphasis on safety, code compliance, and professional-level skill application.
• Manage classroom pacing, journeyman engagement, and daily session structure across the full cohort cycle.
• Administer and evaluate written knowledge checks, practical skills assessments, and the final skills assessment for each course.
• Maintain a safe, professional, and technically rigorous learning environment throughout each cohort.

Lab Execution

• Set up and prepare all lab stations, tools, and training aids before each session; no student should wait on instructor setup.
• Demonstrate all lab activities before students attempt them; model the safety and quality standards expected of a journeyman on a client job site.
• For LV courses: execute cable preparation, crimping, cabinet layout, control wiring, and documentation labs with confidence.
• For MV course: execute cable sheath removal, insulation removal, heat shrink and cold shrink termination installation, lug selection and torquing, and acceptance testing procedures.
• Operate meggers, HiPot testers, and other test equipment used in MV acceptance and maintenance testing.

Documentation & Reporting

• Track and record daily attendance, participation, and assessment results for every student in the cohort.
• Complete required program documentation and submit to the Lead Instructor within 24 hours of each session.
• Document any safety incidents, student conduct issues, equipment failures, or curriculum gaps for the Lead Instructor's attention.
• Support certificate of completion processing for students who meet passing criteria.

Site Standards

• Follow all client site safety requirements, including site-specific safety briefings, PPE requirements, and access protocols.
• Inspect all training aids, tools, and lab equipment for safety and functionality before each use.
• Return all materials and equipment to proper storage at the close of each session; maintain lab organization consistent with a client jobsite standard.
• Communicate any site access issues, facility concerns, or equipment shortfalls to the Lead Instructor immediately.

Collaboration

• Communicate cohort status and any delivery or logistics concerns to the Lead Instructor on a daily basis during active cohorts.
• Provide written feedback on curriculum effectiveness, lab sequencing, and equipment adequacy following each cohort.
• Participate in pre-deployment instructor calibration sessions and any required technical orientation before cohort launch.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of direct field experience in commercial or industrial electrical construction, maintenance, or installation.
• Hands-on proficiency in at least two of the three course track areas: LV cable termination and cabinet work, LV motor/equipment wiring, or MV cable termination and acceptance testing.
• Working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, and OSHA 1910.269 electrical safety requirements; not just conceptual familiarity. Field-applied knowledge is required.
• Demonstrated ability to safely operate insulation resistance testers, CAT-rated multimeters, crimping tools (hydraulic, manual, and battery-powered), and torque tools to manufacturer specifications.
• Ability to interpret and work from one-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, control schematics, and cabinet layout drawings.
• Strong communication skills; ability to engage a journeyman-level adult audience with field credibility and without condescension.
• Ability to pass client site access, background, and safety qualification requirements.

Preferred

• Journeyman Electrician card or equivalent credential.
• Prior experience delivering technical training, mentoring apprentices, or serving as a lead craft in a training role.
• NFPA 70E Qualified Electrical Worker (QEW) certification or formal arc flash training.
• NCCER Electrical certification.
• Experience with MV cable termination (heat shrink, cold shrink, or taped systems; strongly preferred for MV course track assignments).
• Familiarity with acceptance testing procedures per NETA standards.
• Experience on large-scale EPC or industrial construction project sites.

People Responsibilities

• No direct hiring responsibilities.
• Comfortable with delivering coaching and suggesting best practices to adult learners.

Physical Environment

• Base Location: Houston, TX preferred; remote considered for strong candidates.
• Travel: May be deployed to active client project sites nationally for the duration of each cohort cycle. Travel to site at the start of each deployment.
• Schedule: Full-time; schedule aligned to cohort delivery calendar including possible early start times and extended days during pilot phases.
• Physical: Must be able to stand for extended periods, perform and demonstrate hands-on skills, and operate in active industrial job site environments under client site safety requirements.
