The Role We are currently looking to grow our pool of Power Engineering Instructors to facilitate daytime in-person deliveries of 4th Class and 5th Class Power Engineering Labs. These labs typically run Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, and are typically offered consistently over the Fall and Winter semesters (September through April)*.

Our learners are mature, focused, and want to be challenged. *Note: We are currently building our talent pool for potential contracts during the Academic Year. This is a casual contract.

Adaptability and Initiative: Willingness to support evolving program needs, new technologies, and innovative teaching approaches.
During each engagement, the successful candidate will be responsible for:
