Western Welding Academy is on a mission to build a better generation of blue-collar craftsmen. We are forging the next generation of skilled welders through an unwavering commitment to work ethic, accountability, and integrity. By focusing on student outcomes, we provide industry-leading education and hands-on training in a real-world environment, preparing our students to meet and exceed the demands of the welding industry. At Western Welding Academy, we believe wholeheartedly in our mission because we understand the fundamental role blue-collar tradespeople play in the fabric of America. This country was built on the backs of skilled workers-men and women who put in the hard labor that made our roads, bridges, buildings, and industries possible. Blue-collar men and women are the backbone of our economic system, vital to every sector from manufacturing to infrastructure. However, for too long, our nation has focused predominantly on white-collar jobs and the push to send every young person to college, leaving skilled trades underappreciated and underrepresented. Today, we are facing a monumental shift. A worldwide demographic collapse is causing industry and manufacturing to return to American soil, and yet, we lack the skilled labor force needed to meet the immense demand. Even before this shift, there was a substantial need for skilled tradespeople, but now, with global supply chains crumbling and reshoring becoming a necessity, the demand for welders and other skilled workers is skyrocketing. At Western Welding Academy, we see this as our mission, to equip the next generation with the skills they need to thrive, to build strong careers, and to restore the backbone of America's industrial strength. We are committed to filling this gap, one welder at a time, because we believe that the future of our country depends on the hands of those willing to build it. About the Role Are you passionate about the craft of welding and ready to pass your torch to the next generation of welders? Western Welding Academy is looking for a dynamic Classroom Welding Instructor to join our team of industry leaders who aren't just teaching - they're building the welders America needs. As a Classroom Welding Instructor, you won't be stuck behind a desk. You'll lead from both the front of the classroom and inside the welding shop, guiding students through theory and hands-on skill development. This role is about igniting curiosity, reinforcing safety, and shaping confident welders who are ready to tackle any challenge the industry throws their way. You'll take charge of: Delivering engaging lessons based on our high-impact curriculum Demonstrating welding principles and practices with clarity and confidence Managing classroom behavior and maintaining a safe, organized workspace Tracking student performance and helping each one reach their full potential Reinforcing safety protocols, cleanliness, and discipline The Ideal Candidate You're more than just a skilled welder - you're a mentor, a motivator, and a leader. You know how to balance discipline with inspiration and how to connect classroom theory with booth execution. We'd love to meet you if you: Have experience in training or leadership, preferably in pipefitting or welding Can break down complex welding concepts in a clear, engaging way Are committed to safety, structure, and professionalism Thrive in a fast-paced environment and enjoy working with young adults Hold relevant welding certifications (a plus) Are physically able to stand, move, and lift up to 50 lbs for 10-hour shifts Position Details: Start Date: As soon as possible Employment Type: Full-Time, Hourly Department: Operations Shift : Second Shift (12:30pm to 10:30pm) with rotation to first shift as needed Why Western Welding Academy?
