The California Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Association (CPMCA) is hiring an Education Director to lead and implement an established, first-class contractor education and training program serving nearly 10,000 industry professionals .

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role for someone who is organized, communicative, and comfortable working directly with contractors, vendors, and association leadership. The program is already built—your job is to run it well, improve it, and keep it moving forward .

  • Partner closely with the Executive Director and internal team

Who This Role Is For

  • A strong communicator who’s comfortable working with contractors and stakeholders
  • Someone who sticks , executes, and doesn’t jump from role to role
  • An organized self-starter who enjoys running programs—not reinventing them
  • A local professional who enjoys occasional travel and event hosting

  • 5+ years of relevant experience (programs, operations, communications, events, or training)
  • Experience managing events or multi-part programs
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable using event management tools and Microsoft Office
