Part-Time Senior Commercial Electrician Trainer & Field Mentor

Use your commercial electrical experience to train the next generation without taking on full-time field work.

CSL Technology Solutions is looking for an experienced commercial electrician to train, mentor, and support our electrical field technicians.

This is a part-time field-training, on-site support role expected to average 20–25 hours per week, normally scheduled over 3–4 weekdays. This position is designed for a skilled electrician with at least 4 years of extensive commercial electrical field experience who takes pride in the trade and wants to help develop the next generation of field technicians.

This is not an entry-level electrician position, helper position, general maintenance position, residential-only position, low-voltage-only position, or standard full-time field electrician role. The main focus is field training, mentoring, safety, quality, field readiness, troubleshooting support, bucket work training, and practical skill development for commercial electrical work.

Applicants must have at least 4 years of documented, extensive commercial electrical field experience. Candidates should be prepared to discuss specific commercial electrical projects, field responsibilities, systems worked on, troubleshooting examples, safety practices, physical field-work requirements, and any training, mentoring, lead, or foreman experience.

Review completed work for quality, safety, neatness, accuracy, and code-aware installation practices
Provide field support, job walk-throughs, and troubleshooting guidance
Help identify technician skill gaps and recommend practical training steps
Help develop checklists, training notes, field standards, bucket work expectations, and practical skill expectations
Support CSL’s safety-first culture
Communicate professionally with project coordinator/managers, operations staff, warehouse staff, field technicians, and company leadership
