High Performance Engines Instructor – Teach the Trade. Build a Legacy.

If you're a skilled tech with a passion for performance engines and a desire to make a real difference, this could be the most rewarding role you’ve had. We’re representing a growing technical training program located in the Mountain West that’s actively hiring a full-time High Performance Engines Instructor to help develop tomorrow’s top-tier mechanics.

This is a chance to leave behind the daily grind of the shop—but not the hands-on work. You’ll be in a live-shop environment, teaching drivability diagnostics, automotive electrical systems, and performance fundamentals. Teaching experience is not required—if you’ve got five or more years in the industry, a strong work ethic, and the heart of a mentor, you’ll have what it takes to succeed here.

The RoleYou’ll guide students in high-performance engine instruction, using structured curriculum and real-world tools. With support from experienced lead instructors and access to ongoing training, you’ll get the backing you need to grow into the role. You’ll plan instruction, coach shop technique, and play a key part in a student’s career journey—many of whom are entering the trades for the first time.

The CultureThis program is led by industry veterans who value loyalty, effort, and pride in doing things right. It’s a team-first environment with structure, consistency, and purpose. There’s no fluff here—just a clear focus on teaching skills that matter in the real world.

The LocationThis opportunity is based in a quiet, mountain-region town with a strong sense of community, four seasons of outdoor adventure, and a cost of living that still leaves room to breathe. You’ll find a mix of hard-working families, university energy, and open landscapes where hunting, hiking, and high horsepower are all part of daily life. You’re also just an hour from a larger metro for weekend access to more.

What You Need:

• 5+ years of automotive or performance engine experience

• Strong background in diagnostics and electrical systems

• Computer literacy and willingness to learn educational platforms

• ASE certifications and Dyno experience preferred but not required

• A professional, respectful attitude and a desire to see others grow
