CTE Teacher - Constructions Trades and Engineering

Temporary Construction Technology, Woodworking, and Mechanical Design Engineering Teacher

Temporary Assignment: September 15, 2026, for approximately five months.

Logan City School District is seeking a qualified, safety-focused, and collaborative Construction Technology, Woodworking, and Mechanical Design Engineering Teacher for a temporary teaching assignment beginning September 15, 2026 to February 5, 2027. This position provides engaging, hands‑on instruction that develops students’ technical knowledge, craftsmanship, design abilities, problem‑solving skills, workplace readiness, and awareness of careers in construction, manufacturing, drafting, and engineering.

Instruction will align with the Utah State Board of Education CTE strands and standards.

The teacher plans, delivers, and evaluates standards‑based instruction in classroom, computer laboratory, shop, and project‑based settings. Instruction includes construction processes, building systems, woodworking, applied mathematics, tool and equipment operation, computer‑aided design, three‑dimensional modeling, technical drawing, mechanical assemblies, rapid prototyping, and engineering documentation.

The teacher maintains a safe, organized, inclusive, and effective learning environment and ensures students demonstrate required safety knowledge and skills before operating tools, machinery, or equipment.

• Develop and deliver instruction aligned with Utah CTE standards, district curriculum, applicable industry practices, and current technical drawing standards.
• Establish, teach, and consistently enforce classroom, laboratory, construction‑site, and shop safety requirements, including hazard recognition, equipment safety zones, chemical handling, Safety Data Sheets, personal protective equipment, appropriate clothing, industrial hygiene, and emergency procedures.
• Require students to pass applicable safety assessments with 100% accuracy and demonstrate safe operating procedures before using tools, machinery, or equipment.
• Closely supervise students during hands‑on activities and immediately address unsafe behavior, damaged equipment, hazardous conditions, or improper use of tools and materials.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe learning environment and ensure tools, machinery, chemicals, materials, projects, and safety equipment are properly labeled, secured, stored, maintained, and inventoried.
• Instruct students in the safe selection, operation, care, and maintenance of construction and woodworking hand tools, power tools, pneumatic tools, stationary machinery, CNC equipment, three‑dimensional printers, and other available equipment.
• Teach applied mathematics, accurate measurement, scale, estimation, coordinates, area, volume, ratios, proportions, and measurement conversions.
• Teach students to read, interpret, and create construction plans, woodworking plans, scale drawings, technical drawings, material lists, cut lists, parts lists, and other industry documents.
• Provide hands‑on instruction in construction processes, residential building systems, woodworking materials and methods, joinery, adhesives, fasteners, surface preparation, finishing, and basic building‑maintenance practices.
• Teach students to use industry‑relevant computer‑aided design and three‑dimensional modeling software to create accurate parts, models, technical drawings, assemblies, and engineering documentation.
• Provide instruction in orthographic and sectional views, line types, dimensioning, tolerancing, fasteners, welding symbols, sheet‑metal flat patterns, mechanical assemblies, and applicable ANSI/ASME drawing conventions.
• Guide students in designing, modeling, producing, testing, evaluating, and refining construction projects, woodworking products, mechanical assemblies, and three‑dimensional printed prototypes.
• Introduce students to sustainable construction, energy‑efficient practices, manufacturing processes, apprenticeships, certifications, postsecondary programs, and careers in construction, skilled trades, woodworking, drafting, engineering, and manufacturing.
• Develop students’ workplace skills, including safety…
