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. Essential Functions, Duties, and Responsibilities Tasks may include, but are not limited to the following: Technical Training & Instruction 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. Electrical Foundations & Theory Provide instruction and practical application in areas including: Electrical terminology and fundamental electrical theory. Ohm's Law and basic electrical calculations. Series, parallel, and combination circuits. AC and DC electrical concepts appropriate to the curriculum. Trade mathematics, measurements, fractions, decimals, and electrical calculations. Electrical symbols, wiring diagrams, and schematics. National Electrical Code concepts and code navigation. Electrical materials, components, boxes, fittings, and raceway systems. Proper selection and use of electrical hand and power tools. Basic electrical testing and troubleshooting principles. Commercial Electrical Installation Teach, demonstrate, and assess proficiency in commercial electrical construction activities including: Blueprint and electrical drawing interpretation. Layout and installation of electrical raceway systems. EMT and rigid conduit layout, bending, cutting, threading, and installation. Installation and support of boxes, raceways, and electrical equipment. Conduit fittings and proper installation methods. Wire pulling and conductor identification. Conductor preparation, splicing, and termination. Installation of receptacles, switches, lighting devices, and related electrical components. Branch circuit planning and installation. Panelboard and circuit breaker installation concepts. Grounding and bonding. Grounding electrode and ground rod installation. GFCI and AFCI concepts, installation, and testing. Electrical voltage and continuity testing. Proper use of multimeters and other electrical testing equipment. Fault identification and troubleshooting. Installation practices consistent with applicable NEC requirements, project specifications, and company standards. Blueprint & Construction Document Training Teach learners how to read and interpret commercial construction drawings, electrical plans, specifications, and details. Provide instruction on electrical symbols, legends, schedules, one-line diagrams, and applicable construction documentation. Teach learners how electrical installations coordinate with architectural, mechanical, plumbing, structural, and other construction systems. Reinforce the importance of following approved drawings, specifications, manufacturer instructions, and applicable codes. Incorporate practical layout exercises and field scenarios into blueprint-reading instruction. Safety Leadership Model and enforce company safety expectations during all classroom, lab, shop, and field training activities. Reinforce proper selection, inspection, and use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Incorporate job hazard awareness, pre-task planning, safety briefings, and hazard recognition into training activities. Teach and reinforce Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and electrical safe-work practices. Provide instruction regarding shock hazards, arc-flash awareness, electrical hazard recognition, and applicable NFPA 70E concepts.
