·      Partner with the Training Manager, department leaders, and subject-matter experts to gather information and turn it into clear, practical learning materials.

·      Create and update presentations, facilitator guides, learner handouts, job aids, SOPs, quizzes, videos, and digital learning content using approved templates and tools.

·      Support, co-facilitate, and eventually lead engaging in-person and virtual training sessions for office and field employees.

·      Provide responsive learner support and troubleshoot routine LMS access, assignment, and course-completion issues.

·      Collect feedback and review participation, completion, assessment, and performance data to improve training effectiveness.

·      Maintain version control, naming conventions, course files, and organized training records.

·      Support onboarding, Procore/software training, safety and compliance learning, professional development, and other Training Department initiatives.

·      Travel occasionally to company or project locations when training needs require it.

·      Perform other related training and development duties as assigned.

Qualifications Required:

·      Two or more years of experience in training coordination, learning and development, instructional design/content creation, corporate facilitation, LMS administration, HR coordination, education, communications, or a related role. Equivalent combinations of education and experience will be considered.

·      Demonstrated strength in at least one core area: training administration/LMS, facilitation, or content development.

·      Strong organization, follow-through, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple deadlines.

·      Clear written and verbal communication skills and comfort working with employees at different levels and with different levels of technical ability.

·      Working proficiency with Microsoft 365, including Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Forms, or the ability to learn quickly.
