HVAC Instructor – Put Your Experience to Work (No Teaching Experience Needed)

Are you an experienced HVAC technician who’s tired of the grind — on-call nights, crawl spaces, rooftops in February, and wear-and-tear on your body?

This is your chance to stay in the trade, share what you know, and build a stable, rewarding career training the next generation of HVAC professionals.

We’re looking for industry professionals , not career teachers. If you know HVAC, we’ll teach you how to teach .

What You’ll Be Doing

As an HVAC Instructor, you’ll bring real-world experience into the classroom and lab, showing students how the trade actually works — not just how it looks in a book.

You will:

  • Teach hands-on HVAC skills using real equipment and real scenarios
  • Share jobsite knowledge, troubleshooting tips, and best practices
  • Mentor students at different skill levels — from beginners to advanced learners
  • Prepare students for licensing, certification, and real-world success
  • Participate in paid training and ongoing professional development
  • Work independently while being supported by an experienced education team

No lesson plans from scratch, no education degree required — we provide curriculum, training, and support .

Minimum Requirements

  • High School Diploma or GED
  • S1 or S2 licensing required or (B1 and D1) or (B2 and D2)
  • At least 3 years of hands-on HVAC experience
  • Ability to work independently and manage your day
  • Strong communication and organization skills

Why This Role?

  • No weekends. No emergency service calls
  • Formal and on-the-job training to become an instructor
  • Make a real impact on students’ lives and careers
  • Extend your HVAC career without the physical toll

If you’re ready to step off the truck without stepping away from the trade , this could be the next great chapter of your career.
