Description

You've built your career in the electrical trade — on job sites, in estimating offices, or in the classroom — and you know what it takes to turn raw talent into a licensed professional. Now, you're ready to step into a role where that expertise shapes the next generation of electricians in one of Maine's most focused and respected trades training programs. This is a rare chance to move off the tools and into leadership — not just managing a school, but setting the standard for how electrical education is delivered in this state. The organization is lean, mission-driven, and deeply committed to giving students only what they actually need to get licensed and build a career. If that philosophy resonates with how you've always thought about the trade, keep reading. What You'll Own Lead the academic experience — own curriculum delivery across in-person, livestream, and self-paced formats, ensuring every student leaves with real-world, licensure-ready knowledge Serve as the face of the program — interact with prospective and enrolled students, answer questions with authority and warmth, and represent the school in professional settings Oversee day-to-day school operations — manage scheduling, course logistics, state compliance requirements, and instructor coordination Drive student outcomes — monitor student progress, step in to support where needed, and ensure pass rates and licensure results remain strong Maintain state approvals and regulatory standing — stay current with Maine licensing requirements and ensure all programming remains fully approved Contribute to curriculum development — identify gaps, update content as NEC code cycles evolve, and bring your field experience into the classroom Support organizational growth — collaborate with ownership on program expansion, new course offerings, and student enrollment strategy Active Maine Master Electrician license — or the equivalent credentials and field depth that make you credible in front of students who are still earning theirs A professional presence — you communicate clearly, carry yourself with authority, and can command a room without a hard hat on Real-world electrical expertise — whether from the field, project management, estimating, or a combination, you understand how the code connects to actual work A genuine interest in teaching and mentorship — you don't have to have taught before, but you have to want to; the ability to explain complex material in plain language is non-negotiable Organizational competence — you can manage competing priorities, keep things running on time, and work well in a small, collaborative environment Comfort in an office-based, professional setting — this role is on-site Monday through Friday and requires a polished, student-facing demeanor daily Stable, predictable schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–4:30 PM — no nights, no weekends, no job sites Paid transition and onboarding period — the outgoing director will train you directly before departing, giving you a genuine runway to get up to speed A role with real autonomy — small organization, clear mission, minimal bureaucracy The chance to leave the physical demands of the trade behind — without leaving the trade itself
