Primary Responsibility: The Corporate Trainer is responsible for designing and developing technical and professional training content including, equipment and mechanically-oriented instruction that strengthens skills across MIRATECH's manufacturing sites and launches MIRATECH U, the company's internal learning and culture initiative. This role requires genuine mechanical aptitude and working comfort with industrial equipment, tools, and processes; the trainer must be credible in front of engineers, technicians, and skilled trades, not purely versed in instructional design theory. This role is focused on content architecture, building curriculum, materials, and learning pathways, including technical/mechanical skills tracks, that are delivered through trained internal facilitators across HR and the business.

What You'll Do:

Training Content Development

• Design technical and functional training curricula for manufacturing, engineering, and operations roles, translating subject-matter expertise from engineers, plant leaders, and other internal experts into structured, teachable content.

• Develop assessments, job aids, and reference materials that support skill retention after training.
• Develop equipment-based technical training, covering mechanical systems, tooling, controls, or field/maintenance skills, that builds real proficiency on the plant floor, not just classroom or e-learning content.

Program Infrastructure & Facilitator Enablement

• Identify and help stand up a learning management system (LMS) or content hosting solution appropriate for MIRATECH's size and multi-site structure.
• Train and support internal subject matter experts and HR team members who will deliver content, ensuring facilitation quality stays consistent across sites.
• Create tools and dashboards to empower our leaders on tracking training completion and reassign training as necessary.
• Collect feedback on content for enhancements based on real-world results.

Stakeholder Partnership

• Serve as a trusted advisor to plant leadership and department heads on training needs and skill gaps.
• Partner with HR Operations and Talent Acquisition to align onboarding content with the broader new-hire experience.
