Who We Are**
With three campuses along Colorado's Front Range, FRCC is the state's largest community college. We enroll close to 28,000 students annually from our diverse service area, which offers a variety of cultural and recreational activities.
Each year approximately 5,000 FRCC students transfer to four-year universities and FRCC offers more than 36 career training programs that prepare students for immediate employment and rewarding careers. Last year, more than 5,000 high school students took concurrent enrollment classes with us, earning college credit without having to pay college tuition. And we were recently ranked as one of the "Top Online Colleges" in the country by Newsweek.
One of FRCC's main goals is to offer educational excellence for everyone. The college's strong commitment to student success means we start by creating an inclusive and equitable environment---one where both students and employees feel they belong and are supported. FRCC's focus on diversity, equity and inclusion is woven into the fabric of our college conversations and decision-making processes. We are actively seeking to hire a workforce that reflects the diversity of our student body.
The college is also an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution. For us, becoming an HSI is an intentional commitment to being a college where our Latinx (and other historically marginalized) students thrive.
FRCC employees and leaders work hard to create a culture of collaboration, innovation and pride. We're looking to hire people who share these values---along with our commitment to student success, equity and excellence.
Who You Are
As a full-time faculty member in the Manufacturing Department, you will provide instruction in all levels of manufacturing, including certificate and/or transfer levels. You will be teaching within one of four programs that are located in FRCC's 27,000 square foot Center for Integrated Technology (CIM) as well as the Westminster Public Schools (WPS) Ranum Campus in Westminster, CO with the goal of training students for employment as industrial maintenance and industry technicians.
You will work individually, as well as in collaboration with colleagues, to develop innovative curriculum which meets the needs of our diverse population of students. Student retention and success are your top priority. You will utilize technology and effective teaching strategies to develop students' critical thinking skills.
As a faculty member you will act as a mentor for the part-time instructors and serve as a representative of the department by participating in committees, task forces, and events at the campus, college, and/or state levels. You may be asked to teach at different times, locations and modalities to meet the needs of the College.
This position is expected to begin in August 2026. While based at the Boulder County Campus (BCC), this position requires a significant in-person presence at the WPS Ranum Campus to support the program holistically.
