We have 18 locations across Texas, Florida, Arizona, and South Carolina and roughly 600 employees, and we keep growing, both by opening new markets and through acquisitions. For you, that means more crews, more leadership roles, and more room to move up as your skills grow. Job Description The Electrical Instructor trains the next generation of In Charge electricians where it counts: in the field. You will lead a training crew of 2 to 6 apprentices and work alongside them every day, wiring real houses through rough and trim. Your job is to show them how to wire a house the right way: to code, with close attention to detail, and at production speed. This role is built for a skilled residential electrician who enjoys mentoring and takes pride in developing new electricians, and who still wants to be on a job site with tools in hand every day. Job Responsibilities Lead and manage a training crew of 2 to 6 apprentices, in the field with them every day. Train hands-on through rough and trim installations on active job sites: demonstrate the work, then coach apprentices as they do it. Teach apprentices to wire houses efficiently, building the methods, sequencing, and habits that produce speed without giving up quality. Hold a high standard for detail. Check apprentices’ work, correct mistakes on the spot, and make sure every house is wired to plan and to code. Teach and reinforce NEC requirements and job-site safety, including NFPA 70E, as part of the daily work. Mentor each apprentice. Track progress, assess skills and code knowledge, keep training records, and hold regular one-on-ones to address gaps early. Report apprentice progress and program results to training leadership, and work with leadership and field supervisors to keep improving the program.
