Plumbing Instructor – Put Your Experience to Work (No Teaching Experience Needed)
Are you an experienced Plumber 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 Plumbing professionals.
We’re looking for industry professionals, not career teachers. If you know Plumbing, we’ll teach you how to teach.
What You’ll Be Doing

- 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
- P1 or P2 licensing required
- At least 3 years of hands-on Plumbing experience
- Ability to work independently and manage your day
- Strong communication and organization skills
Why This Role?
