About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Deliver ATI curriculum to independent mechanical and general repair shop owners and their teams across live, virtual, and on-demand formats.
Translate business concepts — financials, sales, leadership, succession, and operations — into practical, shop-floor applications for a mechanical/general repair audience.
Adapt delivery style and content to the format, audience, and experience level of each session, including advanced and owner-level cohorts.
Serve as lead or anchor instructor for flagship courses, multi-day events, and higher-stakes sessions as assigned.
Partner closely with curriculum and instructional design staff to keep mechanical-relevant content accurate, current, and credible.
Provide subject-matter review and feedback on new or revised mechanical curriculum prior to broader rollout.
Identify content gaps and emerging mechanical-industry topics, and recommend new course or session development.
Dedicate regular, structured time to researching developments in the mechanical/general repair industry, including evolving technologies (EV service, ADAS, diagnostics, telematics), labor market shifts, parts supply dynamics, and changing shop economics.
Actively monitor industry publications, trade associations, OEM technical resources, and peer research to maintain current, credible subject-matter expertise across ATI's mechanical curriculum.
Review existing course materials on a defined cycle to assess continued relevance, accuracy, and alignment with the realities participants are facing in their shops today — recommending updates, retirements, or new content as warranted.
Mentor and onboard newer or less experienced instructors, including classroom observation and constructive feedback.
