Position Summary
The Engineering Training Manager is responsible for developing and leading the organization's engineering learning strategy to ensure a highly capable, compliant, and future-ready workforce. This role does not serve as the primary technical instructor. Instead, it partners with engineering Subject Matter Experts (SMEs), functional leaders, Human Resources, Quality, Operations, and the Innovation Team to design, govern, and continuously improve technical learning programs across the organization.
The position owns the engineering learning ecosystem-including competency frameworks, onboarding, certification programs, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), training compliance, digital learning initiatives, and knowledge management. Success is achieved through strategic leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and strong program management. While the role may eventually lead a team, it is expected to succeed initially through influence rather than direct authority.
What You will Do:
• Develop and execute the Engineering Learning & Development strategy aligned with organizational goals.
• Own the enterprise engineering training process, including assignments, completion, certifications, compliance, recordkeeping, reporting, and audit readiness.
• Establish and maintain engineering competency frameworks, certification programs, onboarding, and professional development programs.
• Work with Engineering Excellence Office and engineering leaders to understand competency gaps and develop gap closure plans.
• Coordinate the development of instructor-led, self-paced, and digital learning content created by SMEs.
• Evaluate emerging learning technologies and recommend scalable solutions that improve technical learning and knowledge retention.
• Collaborate with the Innovation Team, engineering leaders, and SMEs to identify, develop, and deploy next-generation learning technologies-including Virtual Reality (VR), Artificial Intelligence (AI), digital twins, and engineering simulations-to modernize technical training and improve workforce capability.
• Develop dashboards and KPIs that measure learning effectiveness, competency growth, compliance, and organizational readiness.
What You Will Bring:
Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial Technology, Education, Business, or a related field. Equivalent combination of education and relevant professional experience will also be considered.
• 5-10+ years of experience in engineering training, technical program management, organizational development, or a related discipline.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional initiatives involving multiple stakeholders.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, project management, and organizational skills.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience within industrial manufacturing, controls, automation, power generation, or other technical engineering environments.
• Experience partnering with SMEs to translate complex engineering knowledge into structured learning programs.
• Knowledge of competency management, change management, continuous improvement, and knowledge management principles.
• Experience with digital learning platforms, immersive learning, VR, AI-assisted learning, digital twins, or engineering simulations.
