Position Overview

We are seeking a bilingual construction professional to guide adult learners through NCCER Core Curriculum and Construction Craft Laborer (CCL) Levels 1 and 2. Instruction is fully remote, primarily through existing asynchronous course content with scheduled live virtual support. NCCER instructor certification is welcome but not required at hire; training can be provided. The ideal candidate brings substantial journey-worker-level field experience, communicates clearly in English and Spanish, and enjoys helping learners develop practical construction knowledge.

Key Responsibilities

Deliver and facilitate existing NCCER Core Curriculum and Construction Craft Laborer Levels 1 and 2 instructions through online coursework and scheduled live virtual sessions.

Present established instructional materials and, when requested, participate in recordings of instructor-led delivery of content already developed by the program.
Discuss jobsite safety awareness, PPE, hazard recognition, and relevant construction practices within the approved curriculum; provide formal OSHA standards instruction only when appropriately qualified and authorized.
Support learning on site layout, concrete and masonry assistance, basic rigging concepts, material handling, demolition, and site cleanup as covered by the curriculum.
Respond to learner questions and discussion posts, clarify course concepts, and provide constructive coaching within established response expectations.
Review automatically graded assignment results as needed to identify learning needs and provide supplemental explanations or feedback; do not manually grade assignments.
Use available LMS information to monitor learner engagement and progress and flag concerns to program staff; official training records and grades are maintained electronically in the LMS.
Collaborate with the training team to improve learner understanding and consistency of instruction using existing approved course materials.
Offer general guidance on work readiness, teamwork, and construction career pathways; this position does not perform recruitment or job placement.
