Operations Training Specialist (Columbus)

Our client is looking for someone that has either trained on data center facilities (TrainHVAC, chillers, generators, PDUs,) OR a Critical Environments Technician level IV type of candidate that either has trained colleagues, maybe new joiners, or may be a great trainer. I have just added to the job description (but the posting hasn't been updated yet), to include 5+ years of data center facilities experience requirement.

Our client’s Training Team is looking for a passionate, innovative, results-oriented Ops Training Specialist to drive the operational training and enablement strategy at scale. We provide training products and learning solutions that enable our talented customer support and operational staff to deliver services at client’s data centers.

As an Ops Training Specialist you would impact the development and delivery of a successful and effective global training strategy. You will innovate on behalf of learners and organizational stakeholders, define the customer outcomes and learning impact that we measure, and ensure site staff have the resources and knowledge to deliver in their role. You will do this by creating and presenting solutions that team members want to adopt, share and improve.

As a member of the global Training team, you will work to deeply understand the learner’s experience. You will own the delivery mechanism (inputs, tools, adoption, inspection, outputs and continuous improvements) while allowing for site specific design variation. You will contribute to the design and build of the global training roadmap, will work collaboratively with partner teams to set expectations and KPIs, and participate in goal setting across the organization by defining performance-based outcomes for learners.

In this role, you will drive a continuous improvement roadmap and act as a change agent in the organization. You will take large, complex problems and break them down into manageable pieces, then ensure timely delivery of learning solutions.

The right candidate earns trust through outstanding performance, effective communication skills, and a strong record of delivering results timely and effectively. You should have experience performing classroom and virtual training for an operational/engineering organization or in a learning role, in large, multi-national, preferably a tech company. The ideal candidate has broad technical skills, site operations experience, and a deep analytical background. Strong judgement and a demonstrated ability to influence without explicit authority are key to success.

• Bring your expertise, problem solving skills, and creativity to add value to our team
• Unify distributed efforts and own the plan to deliver quality outcomes for our customers
