• Strong knowledge of HVAC systems, troubleshooting, installation, maintenance, and industry standards

• Ability to lead, mentor, and support faculty and students

• Strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills

• Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook

Preferred Qualifications

• Passion for workforce development and student success

Why This Role?

• Combine teaching, leadership, and technical expertise in one rewarding position

• Help shape the next generation of HVAC professionals

• Lead a program that directly impacts student career success

• Work in a stable, professional environment focused on education and workforce development

• Continue building your HVAC career while expanding your leadership and management experience
