· Own the training calendar at the Franklin shipyard — scheduling, logistics, and materials — and lead onboarding that gives new hires a consistent start and accelerates time to productivity.
· Partner with shipyard leadership, production supervisors, and subject matter experts to identify skill gaps and translate them into practical, hands-on instruction.
· Adapt corporate-developed content for site conditions and confirm programs are delivered consistently to standard across trades.
· Apply adult learning principles and site safety, operational, and compliance requirements to all trainings delivered on the floor.
· Track completion, quality, and learner feedback in the learning management system, report results to shipyard leadership and corporate L&D, and use that data to refine programs.
· Design and deliver on-the-job training for welders, fitters, and related production trades — covering blueprint reading, layout, assembly, and the safe use of trade tools, equipment, and rigging.
· Deliver required equipment and safety training, including Powered Industrial Truck certification, reinforcing PPE, fire prevention, and equipment inspection expectations in every session.
· Coach trainees in real time during hands-on practice and escalate when a pattern points to a process or program issue rather than an individual one.
· Host and coordinate local workforce development partners on site visits, materials reviews, and third-party-led sessions, working with corporate L&D on implementation.
