Technical Instructor Manager

Our client is a specialized electrical training organization that focuses on helping utilities, industrial facilities, and service providers work safely on power systems and substation equipment. For decades, they have delivered hands‑on, instructor‑led courses in electrical fundamentals, protection and control, and safety standards such as NFPA 70E and related industry guidelines. Their programs blend classroom theory with practical labs, and they place a strong emphasis on real‑world application, instructor expertise, and continuous improvement in training quality and learner outcomes.

The Manager of Instructors is responsible for leading, mentoring, and supporting a team of technical instructors, ensuring consistent, high‑quality delivery of electrical training programs. This role oversees training in electrical substation equipment, electrical fundamentals, and safety practices, and requires strong leadership, operational discipline, and the ability to effectively manage both people and processes.

This is not a corporate L&D role. It is a hands‑on leadership position for someone with real‑world substation and electrical testing experience who can mentor instructors, uphold technical standards, and ensure consistent, high‑quality delivery of advanced electrical training programs.
