What You’ll Be Doing:

• Teaching welding techniques (SMAW, GMAW, FCAW, GTAW) through both lectures and hands‑on shop instruction.
• Demonstrating equipment use—including CNC plasma tables and automated cutters.
• Supporting students with shop safety, accurate measuring, layout, and cutting.
• Utilizing grading software and collaborating on curriculum development and projects.

What You Bring:

• 7+ years of professional experience in welding and fabrication.
• Background in blueprint reading, cutting techniques, and shop safety protocols.
• Familiarity with or willingness to learn CNC and digital shop tools.
• A strong communicator with a positive, team-focused mindset.
• Industry certifications (e.g., AWS, API) are a plus, but not required.
• Able to quickly learn digital systems used in a training environment.

What’s in It for You:

• Competitive salary range based on experience
• Full benefits package including health, dental, vision, PTO, holidays, and 401(k).
• Tuition reimbursement and professional development support.
• A role with purpose—helping shape the careers of the next generation of skilled workers.
