Director, Learning & Development

Job Description:

HITT Contracting is seeking a Director of Learning & Development to lead and elevate learning across our growing organization. As HITT continues to expand in scale, geography, and capability, we are focused on ensuring the way we develop our people keeps pace with the sophistication of our business and the changing needs of the construction industry.

At HITT, our mission is to build and deliver exceptional experiences for our clients, partners, subcontractors, and team members. Our approach to learning and development should reflect that same standard. From an intern beginning a career in construction to an experienced superintendent leading complex work in the field, we want our people to have access to relevant, engaging, and high-quality development that helps them perform at their best and build meaningful careers at HITT.

This leader will bring a forward-looking perspective to how we develop our people and translate business needs into meaningful learning experiences. The Director will lead learning from concept through execution across enterprise learning programs, early career development programs, and skilled trades and apprenticeship development for HITT's craft professionals. The role serves a diverse workforce across project management, site operations, corporate resources, early career talent, and skilled craft professionals. A superintendent learning to perfect a schedule requires a different experience than an assistant project manager learning to lead an estimate. The Director will understand these differences and ensure HITT's learning experiences are designed around how our people actually work, learn, and grow.

Success in this role requires more than expertise in traditional training. The Director will continually evaluate how different populations learn best and introduce new approaches where they can meaningfully improve development and performance. This includes advancing contemporary adult learning practices and thoughtfully evaluating opportunities across AI, immersive and simulation-based learning, AR/VR, mobile and point-of-need learning, adaptive experiences, and other emerging capabilities.

The ideal candidate is a visionary and highly capable learning leader who is equally comfortable challenging what is possible and doing the work required to make it happen. This leader will bring the expertise, curiosity, and creativity to make learning at HITT as exceptional as the work we expect our teams to deliver.

Based onsite at our headquarters in Falls Church, VA, this position is not eligible for remote work.

• Identify new ways to capture and scale the knowledge of HITT's most experienced builders and leaders, making institutional expertise more accessible across markets, roles, and career stages.
• Partner closely with HITT's Safety team to support a comprehensive safety learning program that reinforces our commitment to creating safe jobsites, strengthens knowledge and behaviors, and meets the needs of team members across roles, markets, and levels of experience.
• Oversee the learning infrastructure and administration supporting required compliance training, ensuring HITT can effectively manage and document training requirements across federal, state, local, client, and project-specific jurisdictions as the organization continues to grow.
• Ensure compliance and required training is current, appropriately assigned, completed, documented, and auditable, with clear governance for managing changing requirements across HITT's national footprint.
