Electrical Instructor - Commercial Construction

Job Summary

The Electrical Instructor – Commercial Construction is an experienced, safety-focused electrical professional responsible for delivering classroom and hands-on technical training to develop the knowledge, skills, safety awareness, and jobsite readiness of electrical employees.

This position combines classroom instruction and hands-on lab and practical training, as well as assessment of technical skills. The Electrical Instructor delivers structured training covering electrical safety, trade mathematics, electrical theory, blueprint reading, National Electrical Code (NEC) concepts, conduit installation, wire pulling, device installation, grounding and bonding, testing, troubleshooting, and commercial electrical construction codes and practices.

Training is delivered through two primary formats: short, topic-driven pilot sprints that provide focused, rapid-turn instruction on specific subjects such as NEC code updates or new installation techniques, and longer, outcome-designed learning pathways that build structured skill progression over multiple sessions.

The Electrical Instructor translates real-world field experience into practical learning experiences that prepare employees to perform safely, efficiently, and professionally on commercial construction projects. The role requires an individual who can balance strong electrical trade knowledge with effective classroom facilitation, coaching, mentoring, and skills assessment. In addition to instructional duties, the Electrical Instructor screens job applicants' technical skills and abilities and collaborates with hiring managers to assess crew performance where necessary and address targeted skill or performance concerns.

This position requires routine travel to support company training programs, regional operations, and project-specific workforce development needs.

• Deliver structured classroom, and/or onsite lab, and hands-on electrical construction training using varied curriculum, lesson plans, demonstrations, practical exercises, and assessments.
• Design and deliver both short, topic-driven pilot sprints for targeted or time-sensitive training needs (for example, NEC code updates or new installation techniques) and longer, outcome-designed training pathways that build structured skill progression over multiple sessions.
• Provide instruction covering foundational through advanced commercial electrical construction concepts appropriate to the experience level of participants.
• Test prep, code changes, and site-specific instruction
• Maintain an effective balance between classroom instruction and applied learning.
• Demonstrate proper electrical installation techniques and provide learners with supervised opportunities to practice and demonstrate competency.
• Share real-world commercial construction experience, troubleshooting techniques, and lessons learned to connect technical concepts with field applications.
• Adjust instructional methods based on learner experience, comprehension, skill level, and learning needs.
• Reinforce company standards for safety, quality, productivity, professionalism, and workmanship throughout all training activities.

Provide instruction and practical application in areas including:

• Electrical terminology and fundamental electrical theory.
