• Prepare trainers, equipment, materials, and workspaces for Build-a-Trainer workshops.
• Provide hands-on instruction, troubleshooting, and technical support to workshop participants.
• Help maintain a safe, organized workshop environment.
• Prepare, transport, and deliver automation trainers and related materials to participating institutions.
• Help create and maintain how-to videos, instructions, and other resources for trainer assembly, setup, and use.
• Collaborate with BTECH employees, participating institutions, and project partners.

What We’re Looking For

A postsecondary certificate or higher in automation technology, industrial maintenance, manufacturing technology, education, or a related field is required.

The successful candidate will also have:

• Strong technical, planning, and organizational skills.
• The ability to work with tools, equipment, mechanical and electrical components, and 3D printing equipment.
• The ability to follow technical instructions and complete projects accurately and on time.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to maintain accurate parts and equipment records.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.

Experience with automation equipment, parts assembly, 3D printing, or related technical work is preferred.

Physical Requirements

This is an active, hands-on position that requires the ability to lift up to 50 pounds and perform activities including sitting, standing, walking, grasping, pulling, pushing, squatting, bending, twisting, climbing, and tasks requiring manual dexterity and fine and gross motor skills.

The position also requires visual and auditory acuity and may involve working in office, classroom, lab, industry simulation, and industry environments. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the physical requirements.

Why BTECH?

At Bridgerland Technical College, you’ll be part of a team focused on hands-on technical education and innovative training solutions. This position offers an opportunity to use your technical skills to build real training equipment, support hands-on workshops, and help expand automation education to participating institutions.
