As a Training Program Specialist, you will be the operational owner of training performance across a defined set of stations in our manufacturing environment. You will be responsible for translating new and updated processes into effective, on-the-job learning experiences that result in consistent execution and measurable technician proficiency. Your focus will be on velocity, quality, and team self-sufficiency.

You will be the first to master new procedures, working closely with technicians and trainer cohorts to ensure flawless adoption of every process. You will monitor and act on training velocity (time to full crew readiness) and training quality (adherence to standards), closing gaps proactively. Your north star: Every station in your scope runs to standard, every shift, with a self-sufficient team.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead all training activities for your assigned area, delivering on-the-job instruction and acting as the technical expert.
  • Work directly with technicians to understand process nuances, pain points, and improvement opportunities.
  • Master every process in your area and convert new methods into clear, teachable steps.
  • Train technicians and technician-trainers to ensure consistent, standard execution across all shifts.
  • Adapt coaching approaches to individual learning styles and support trainees through challenges.
  • Mentor technician-trainers to promote best practices in training delivery.
  • Own the full evaluation process, including quizzes, assessments, and progress reporting.
  • Create and refine evaluation criteria covering both hard and soft skills.
  • Partner with process designers to define tasks and decision points using structured “if/then” logic.
  • Maintain up-to-date, version-controlled training content that is always audit-ready.
  • Ensure returning technicians are aligned with the latest training standards.
  • Conduct and support training audits to ensure 100% procedural compliance.
  • Manage a blend of on-the-job and off-the-job training formats.
  • Collaborate with Learning System Engineers to develop and execute continuous improvement roadmaps.
  • 10–25% travel as needed to additional Hadrian locations to support training delivery, program implementation, and global workforce development.
