Technical Trainer

We are excited for you to join our team of qualified and diverse individuals. Our domain provides rewarding work that contributes to the latest advancements being made in the missile defense industry.
Role Description & Responsibilities
The Technical Trainer will work with Operations leadership at their designated location to support all training needs of the Value Stream. This includes the facilitation of New Employee Orientation (NEO) and instructor-led (ILT) classes, as needed. It may also involve helping facilitate the creation of effective training modules for on-the-job training (OJT). The Technical Trainer will work with management to assign appropriate training courses, resolve issues with the Learning Management System (LMS), and support leadership in their efforts to keep all employees current on their required training to perform their jobs safely and efficiently.
A successful Technical Trainer will have experience in the successful application of instructional methods and learning theory principles that result in effective learning. The position requires coordination with the training team and subject matter experts on suggested course content and scheduling of training events.
