About The Position

ENSA North America, the work-at-height training division of Mallory Safety & Supply, is hiring instructors to teach work-at-height and rescue courses to crews in wind, telecommunications, and general industry. Instructors deliver courses at ENSA and partner facilities, customer sites, and mobile training towers. The work is hands-on and physical, involving climbing, working suspended in a harness, and conducting rescue drills alongside students. Instructors also help develop course content and improve training operations while supporting ENSA’s ISO 9001-certified and GWO-approved programs. New instructors begin with an instructor development program in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, from January 4 to February 11, 2027. Training schedules are published approximately one year in advance, with updates communicated by email. The schedule is primarily Monday through Friday, though some courses include weekends and work travel may occur on weekends. Instructors should expect approximately 12 weeks of overnight travel per year (the posting marks this estimate “[12, CONFIRM]”). Travel is mostly within the United States, with occasional trips to Canada, the Caribbean, and other locations; travel may sometimes be scheduled with less than one week’s notice. Mallory covers flights, lodging, and rental cars for work travel and provides a food per diem. The role includes substantial physical demands. Training days typically last 8 to 10 hours and involve standing, climbing, and demonstrating techniques. Instructors climb a 30- to 40-foot training tower about 20 times per day while wearing 10 to 15 pounds of gear, work suspended in a harness during rescue drills, and lift and carry equipment weighing up to 20 pounds. This pace may continue for four to five consecutive days and for several weeks in a row, indoors and outdoors in varying temperatures and weather. Instructors must be able to perform the essential functions of the position, with or without reasonable accommodation. Mallory Safety & Supply is family owned and privately held, with more than 40 years in business, 38+ locations, and 600+ employees. ENSA is headquartered in Mukwonago, Wisconsin, and provides safety and rescue training, safety support, and rigging services for wind, telecom, and industrial crews. The position is based at the Las Vegas, Nevada location. This is a full-time role with an undisclosed salary range; compensation is described as a competitive hourly rate commensurate with experience.
