HVAC Instructor – Put Your Experience to Work (No Teaching Experience Needed)

Are you an experienced HVAC technician who’s tired of the grind — on-call nights, crawl spaces, rooftops in February, and wear-and-tear on your body?

This is your chance to stay in the trade, share what you know, and build a stable, rewarding career training the next generation of HVAC professionals.

We’re looking for industry professionals, not career teachers. If you know HVAC, we’ll teach you how to teach.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an HVAC Instructor, you’ll bring real-world experience into the classroom and lab, showing students how the trade actually works — not just how it looks in a book.

You will:

Teach hands-on HVAC skills using real equipment and real scenarios
Share jobsite knowledge, troubleshooting tips, and best practices
Mentor students at different skill levels — from beginners to advanced learners
Prepare students for licensing, certification, and real-world success
Participate in paid training and ongoing professional development
Work independently while being supported by an experienced education team

No lesson plans from scratch, no education degree required — we provide curriculum, training, and support.

Minimum Requirements

High School Diploma or GED
S1 or S2 licensing required or (B1 and D1) or (B2 and D2)
At least 3 years of hands-on HVAC experience
Ability to work independently and manage your day
Strong communication and organization skills

Why This Role?

No weekends. No emergency service calls
Formal and on-the-job training to become an instructor
Make a real impact on students’ lives and careers
Extend your HVAC career without the physical toll

If you’re ready to step off the truck without stepping away from the trade, this could be the next great chapter of your career.
