Title: Learning & Development Specialist

Position Summary: The Learning & Development Specialist plays a critical, hands‑on role in building and scaling the company’s formal learning and development function within a construction environment. This role is responsible for designing, developing, and implementing training programs, with a primary focus on building out the Learning Management System (LMS), supporting onboarding, and enabling employee and leadership development across the organization. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to dig in, build something meaningful from the ground up, make a visible impact, and grow with the organization. As the learning function matures, this role has a clear path to future management responsibility.

Key Responsibilities:

Learning Management System (LMS) – Design & Development

• Own the design, development, and ongoing build‑out of the company’s LMS platform
• Partner directly with department leads (construction operations, project controls, safety, field leadership, support teams, etc.) to:

• Identify training needs and gaps
• Translate operational knowledge into structured learning content
• Build role‑based learning paths and progression pathways

Develop training content including:

• LMS modules
• Job‑specific learning paths
• SOP‑based instruction
• System and process training materials

Maintain content accuracy, version control, and continuous improvement as processes evolve

Onboarding & New Hire Training

• Design and maintain standardized onboarding agendas and training materials
• Support and help lead general onboarding sessions for new hires
• Coordinate onboarding training across office, project, and field‑based roles
• Ensure new employees receive clear, consistent instruction aligned with construction operations and company standards

Employee & Leadership Development

• Support and help shape the company’s employee development and leadership training initiatives
• Research, evaluate, and coordinate external leadership development programs and training providers
• Assist managers with identifying development opportunities for their teams and coordinating participation
• Help translate leadership concepts into practical, construction‑relevant learning experiences

Training Enablement & Engagement

• Provide training support for new systems, tools, and company initiatives
• Assist with company‑wide SOP documentation by helping convert procedures into usable training materials
• Participate in leadership workshops, training sessions, and company events
• Support engagement activities such as facilitating icebreakers or interactive learning components when appropriate

Collaboration & Growth

• Work cross‑functionally with HR, Operations, IT, Safety, and department leaders
• Track training effectiveness and gather feedback to improve programs
• Help establish foundational processes and standards for the learning function
• Grow alongside the role as the department expands, with the opportunity to take on future leadership or management responsibilities

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Development, Education, Human Resources, Business, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• Experience in learning & development, training, instructional design, or onboarding
• Demonstrated ability to design and develop training content, not just coordinate it
• Strong communication and facilitation skills
• Comfortable working in a construction, operations, or field‑based environment
• Self‑starter mindset with a willingness to build, test, iterate, and improve
• Experience with LMS platforms, SOP‑driven environments, or systems training is a plus

Why This Role

• Opportunity to build and shape a newer formal company initiative
• Highly visible impact across construction operations and leadership
• Hands‑on work with real ownership, not just administration
• Clear runway for growth into management as the learning function scales
