Job Description

Teach Complex Systems. Shape Skilled Workforces. Travel with Impact.

We are seeking a highly skilled and engaging Field Technical Instructor to deliver advanced training on industrial automation systems to customers across a variety of industries. This role is ideal for someone who combines deep technical expertise with a passion for teaching—someone who can simplify complex concepts and create meaningful, hands‑on learning experiences.

As a Field Technical Instructor, you’ll work directly with customers to build technical capability, support adoption of automation technologies, and drive real-world performance outcomes.

What You’ll Do

Deliver High-Impact Technical Training

  • Facilitate performance-based training both in-house and at customer sites.
  • Deliver instruction across industrial automation technologies, including PLCs, drives, motion control, and industrial networking.
  • Create engaging learning environments that make complex technical concepts clear, practical, and applicable.

Customize Training for Customer Needs

  • Partner with customers to identify training requirements and tailor delivery to specific operational needs.
  • Adapt course content and delivery style based on audience experience level and learning objectives.
  • Identify skill gaps and provide targeted coaching to improve learner performance.

Maintain & Expand Technical Expertise

  • Maintain strong competency in assigned course topics while continuously expanding knowledge across product families.
  • Stay current with evolving Rockwell Automation technologies, tools, and software platforms.
  • Continuously improve both technical depth and instructional delivery skills.

Enhance Learning Quality & Experience

  • Monitor course evaluations and learner feedback to ensure high customer satisfaction.
  • Diagnose learning challenges and implement corrective or remedial strategies as needed.
  • Analyze feedback and proactively address any performance or delivery gaps.

Operational Excellence & Equipment Management

  • Set up, break down, and maintain classroom and training equipment to ensure reliability and readiness.
  • Properly pack and transport training tools and materials for field delivery.
  • Report and document any issues that may impact course quality or customer experience.

Support Business Growth

  • Identify opportunities for additional training or product engagement through student interactions.
  • Support sales efforts by recognizing and communicating customer needs.
  • Represent the organization professionally and serve as a mentor to less experienced instructors.

What Makes You a Great Fit

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Education, Electrical Engineering, Technical Instruction, or related technical field OR 5+ years of relevant field experience in industrial automation
  • Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to teach technical concepts effectively
  • Ability to manage travel, logistics, and independent schedules

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience in industrial automation training or instruction
  • Strong technical expertise in: PLCs (Logix5000 / Studio 5000) PowerFlex drives HMIs and FactoryTalk software Motion control systems and industrial networking
  • Experience working with Rockwell Automation platforms is highly preferred

Work Environment & Requirements

  • Extensive travel required (including possible weekend travel)
  • Highly dynamic, customer-facing role requiring flexibility and independence

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn’t just a training role—you’ll be developing the technical capability of industrial teams working with advanced automation systems. Your work directly impacts operational efficiency, system performance, and workforce readiness across industries.

If you enjoy:

  • Hands-on technical work
  • Teaching and mentoring others
  • Traveling and working directly with customers

This is a role where your expertise will be visible, valued, and impactful.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
