Description:

We are looking for gifted and seasoned instructors to conduct hands-on, end-user and administrator instruction for Motorola Solutions' VESTA products and systems. This adjunct instructing position involves traveling throughout North America to train public safety customers.

What you Bring:

It's important that you be a subject-matter expert in 9-1-1 operations, technology, or other 9-1-1-related fields and you have a verifiable track record as an instructor.

You will excel in this role if you have a blend of the following traits and skills:

5+ years of hands-on experience operating VESTA 9-1-1 or VESTA NXT in a PSAP environment.

Your experience as an Administrator/Call Taker/Agent or as a PSAP Director is highly desirable.
Deep working knowledge of call handling workflows, CAD integration, NG911 architecture, and the full VESTA feature set.
Familiarity with the broader NG911 ecosystem (routing, GIS, text-to-911, ACD).
Experience with VESTA implementation, upgrades, or configuration is a strong plus.
3+ years of Technical presentation/teaching experience. It is highly preferred that this is within a PSAP environment with a focus on public safety communication systems, solutions, and applications. 5+ years prior experience would be ideal.
