[Hiring] Subject-Matter Expert @Pathstream

Role Description

We're looking for experienced maintenance professionals to provide ongoing subject-matter expertise for a training program that prepares people for maintenance-operator roles in automated warehouses and facilities. You bring the real-world experience; you don't need a background in course design.

We're currently prioritizing UK-based candidates, though it's not a requirement.

Note: We want your experience and professional judgement, not your employer's confidential information. We'll never ask you to share proprietary documents, internal procedures, or other non-public information from a current or former employer.

What You Will Do:

• Give feedback and input on course content — review what we're building and tell us where it's accurate and where it doesn't match how the work is really done.
• Lend real-world, on-the-floor expertise — what the job is actually like day to day, the knowledge that isn't in any textbook.
• Help our learners — once the program launches, be a knowledgeable, credible person they can turn to with questions as they build confidence in an unfamiliar field.

Qualifications

• You have hands-on experience maintaining automated equipment — the kind found in warehouses, fulfillment centers, or similar facilities — across mechanical, electrical, and basic automation/controls.
• You ideally hold relevant industry credentials — SACA certifications or micro-credentials, or comparable technical qualifications.
• You understand the entry-level maintenance operator role and the people entering it.
• You can spot when something isn't how it's really done and explain the right way clearly and specifically.
• You're comfortable working with beginners and can explain technical work patiently.
• Teaching or training experience is a strong plus.
• You're available around 5-10 hours a week on a contract basis, including some ongoing availability once the program is live to help answer learner questions.

Benefits

• Meaningful work where your expertise directly shapes a program that helps people launch skilled-trade careers.
• Flexible, mostly asynchronous, part-time, remote contract work that fits alongside an existing job.
• Competitive contract rate, based on experience; scope and weekly hours to be discussed.
