HVAC/Refrigeration Instructor Vacancy Notice 

Ready for the next chapter of your HVAC career?

Berks Career & Technology Center (BCTC) is looking for an experienced HVAC professional who is ready to take the knowledge and skills they've built in the field and pass them on to the next generation of technicians.

You don't have to be an instructor to apply and we don't expect an experienced HVAC professional to walk into the classroom and know everything about teaching on day one. To apply, you need to know HVAC, enjoy working with young people, and have a desire to make a difference. BCTC will assist you in learning the classroom piece by providing you with support, mentoring and resources to help you make the transition from industry professional to an instructor. 

Why Make the Move to BCTC?  You have spent years mastering your trade. Imagine putting that experience to work in a different way:

• Monday–Friday, 7:30 a.m.–3:15 p.m.
• Paid sick and personal leave
• 10-month work year / 190 days
• Tuition reimbursement
• Summers away from the classroom
• Guaranteed annual salary increases
• No nights, weekends, or on-call service
• A fully equipped HVAC/Refrigeration laboratory
• No more ladders or crawl spaces
• Comprehensive benefits
• Mentor/prepare the next generation of skilled technicians

About BCTC – We are located at 3307 Friedensburg Road, Oley. We are a premier career and technical education center serving high school and adult learners through highly relevant, hands-on programs aligned directly with the needs of business and industry.

Our instructors bring real-world industry experience into the classroom, giving students the technical skills, professional habits, and confidence they need to succeed after graduation.

What We're Looking For – We are interested in experienced HVAC professionals who are ready to share their knowledge with the next generation. Required qualifications include:

• Minimum four years of full-time, wage-earning HVAC/Refrigeration experience beyond training
