What You Can Expect

The Training Sr Specialist develops, administers, and continuously improves training programs that support employee competence, product quality, and regulatory compliance in a medical device manufacturing environment. This role owns the effective assignment, documentation, tracking, and evaluation of training across manufacturing operations and supporting functions; partners closely with Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Document Control, and functional leaders; and serves as a subject-matter resource for training-system processes and data.

How You'll Create Impact

• Lead the development, implementation, and maintenance of role-based training curricula that support regulatory, quality-system, manufacturing, and job-skill requirements.

• Ensure employees receive appropriate, timely, and effective training; monitor completion, qualification status, and overdue training; and escalate compliance risks to functional leadership as appropriate.

• Administer day-to-day training-system activities, including assignment of training, entry and maintenance of learning records, response to business requests, and preparation of training reports and status updates.

• Partner with Document Control and change-control stakeholders to assess training impacts and ensure applicable personnel are trained on new or revised procedures, work instructions, and other controlled documents before implementation.

• Collaborate with manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Engineering, and other functional leaders to identify training needs, prioritize solutions, and align curricula with current job responsibilities and business requirements.

• Develop and maintain new-employee orientation and onboarding training programs for in-house personnel.

• Design and apply training-effectiveness methods, including knowledge checks, practical assessments, qualification criteria, and follow-up evaluation, to assess employees’ ability to perform assigned work.

• Analyze training data and trends to identify gaps, recurring issues, and opportunities to strengthen curricula, learning materials, training processes, and compliance performance.

• Provide technical guidance on training-system practices and help resolve complex training documentation, assignment, and reporting issues with limited supervision.

• Maintain complete, accurate, and inspection-ready training documentation in accordance with company procedures and applicable regulatory requirements.
