With safety and ethics at the core of everything we do, our experienced professionals are hard at work on commercial and industrial sites throughout the Midwest.

The Position:

Walbec University is building a world-class internal learning function-and the foundation of that work is this role. Over the years, our operational leaders have built training programs from the ground up: safety programs written on job sites, onboarding built by foremen, technical training passed down through years of field experience. That knowledge is real, hard-won, and valuable. What it needs now is a professional learning architect to transform it.

The Learning Consultant will take our existing home-grown training materials and operational expertise and turn them into polished, consistent, and professionally structured learning experiences. This means partnering directly with operations leaders and subject matter experts to capture what they know, then redesigning it into facilitator-ready, learner-centered programs that can be delivered consistently across every business unit, project site, and region.

This is not a starting-from-scratch role-the content and the expertise exist. What we need is the design talent, facilitation capability, and professional rigor to package it in a way that reflects the quality of our company and scales as we grow nationally. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable in a field trailer reviewing safety training with an operations superintendent and in front of a room facilitating a leadership development workshop.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Learning & Development, Organizational Development, Education, Human Resources, or a related field required; Master's degree a plus

• 5+ years of instructional design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating both designed-from-scratch and redesigned/transformed learning programs

• Demonstrated experience taking informal, SME-created, or operationally-driven training content and redesigning it into professional, scalable learning solutions

• Proven track record designing instructor-led training, e-learning, facilitator guides, and train-the-trainer resources for operational or field-based workforces

• Experience working directly with operations leaders or subject matter experts who are not learning professionals; ability to draw out expertise and translate it into structured learning

• Experience in construction, manufacturing, engineering, trades, transportation, or a similarly complex operational environment strongly preferred

• Facilitation experience required; ability to deliver programs to mixed audiences of field, operational, and professional employees

Technical Skills

• Proficiency with e-learning authoring tools: Articulate Storyline and/or Rise strongly preferred; Adobe Captivate or equivalent considered

• Experience with learning management systems; Workday Learning experience a plus

• Strong visual design and layout skills; ability to create learning materials that look polished and professional without a graphic design team

• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, Teams); experience with video/screen capture tools (Camtasia, Loom, or similar) a plus

• Familiarity with instructional design frameworks: ADDIE, SAM, Bloom's Taxonomy, Kirkpatrick evaluation model

Competencies & Attributes

• A translator by nature: able to sit with an operations expert, understand what they know, and turn it into something a new hire can learn from on day one

• High design standards paired with pragmatism; knows when "good enough to work" is the right answer and when polish matters

• Strong project management discipline; able to manage competing priorities and stakeholder expectations without losing quality

• Exceptional written communication; writes clearly, concisely, and in plain language appropriate for diverse literacy levels and field audiences

• Credible with operational leaders; brings a presence and working style that earns respect in both the boardroom and the field trailer
