About Us
We are a newly launched trade school platform backed by one of the world’s most respected investment groups. With unmatched resources, state-of-the-art facilities, and a mission to raise the bar for skilled trades education, we are building programs that prepare students to thrive from day one on the job. Pre-apprentice Plumbing Training is one of our core offerings, and we are seeking a Director of Plumbing to design, lead, and grow this program.
The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to shape one of the most advanced pre-apprentice plumbing training programs in the country. As our Director of Plumbing, you will:
- Build and lead the Pre-apprentice plumbing program from the ground up.
- Guide the design of a custom plumbing training lab that mirrors real-world systems.
- Teach and mentor students in a hands-on, 6-week training cycle designed to take high school graduates, career switchers, and veterans from zero experience to job-ready.
- See immediate impact — every 6 weeks, a new cohort graduates ready to enter the workforce with real, employable skills.
- Stay active in the trade with opportunities to continue field work alongside your teaching.
- Grow with us as we expand nationally — this role has the potential to scale into leadership across multiple campuses.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and deliver an accelerated entry-level plumbing curriculum focused on safety, tools, pipe systems, fixtures, troubleshooting, codes, and installation practices.
- Lead the buildout and operation of a state-of-the-art plumbing training lab.
- Teach, coach, and mentor students from diverse backgrounds to prepare them for immediate success in the field.
- Refine and improve the 6-week program with each cycle, ensuring it remains hands-on, relevant, and industry-leading.
- Recruit and mentor future plumbing instructors as the program grows.
- Stay current on plumbing codes, safety standards, and emerging technologies.
- Represent the program with contractors, community partners, and industry organizations.
What We’re Looking For
- Expertise: Licensed Master Plumber with 5+ years of field experience (residential and/or commercial).
- Certifications: State Master Plumbers license required. Additional OSHA, or specialty certifications are a plus
- Teaching/mentorship: Experience training apprentices or journeyman; ability to inspire students new to the trade.
- Leadership: Ready to run a department and guide program growth.
- Passion: A genuine commitment to advancing the plumbing profession.
What We Offer
- Competitive pay: $70,000 – $95,000 base, with performance incentives up to $120,000+.
- Influence: Lead the program and shape the training lab.
- Flexibility: Protected time to remain active in the field.
- Benefits: Health, dental, vision, and retirement.
- Support: Relocation assistance available.
- Growth: Professional development funding and a leadership path to overseeing multiple campuses.
Why This Role Stands Out
Every 6 weeks, you’ll see students go from zero knowledge to ready to hit the workforce. That means your teaching has a direct, visible impact on people’s lives and careers — and you’ll get to refine the program and grow it nationally as we expand. Unlike traditional teaching jobs, this role blends hands-on instruction, program leadership, and real-world practice.
