The Director of Training and Development partners with Blum leaders to identify performance needs, prioritize development opportunities, and deliver practical learning solutions that improve how our people and project teams perform. The role spans professional skills, technical and systems training, onboarding, and support for our High Performing Teams (HPT) program.

Working closely with leaders, superintendents, project teams, and subject-matter experts, the Director brings learning and development expertise to determine the right approach for each need and measures whether those solutions are making a difference on the job and in the business.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Needs Assessment and Learning Strategy

• Build strong consulting relationships with Blum leaders, managers, superintendents, and project teams to understand business priorities and development needs.
• Identify performance and capability gaps through conversations with leaders, job-site visits, HPT and department meetings, and other appropriate methods.
• Partner with leadership to set and regularly revisit learning priorities, and maintain a flexible development roadmap that balances immediate needs with long-term growth.
• Recognize when a performance issue calls for a non-training solution and work with the right partners to address it.

Learning Design and Delivery

• Lead the design, development, and delivery of practical, engaging learning experiences, in person and virtually, grounded in adult learning principles.
• Choose the delivery methods and formats that best fit the audience, the content, and the desired outcome.
• Draw on real Blum projects, leader insights, and lessons learned to make learning relevant to employees' day-to-day work.
• Collaborate with subject-matter experts, internal partners, and external resources to build and maintain training content and resources.

Professional Skills Development

• Partner with leaders to identify and prioritize professional skills needs such as communication, collaboration, problem-solving, accountability, and leadership.
• Create opportunities for employees to learn from Blum leaders, share experiences, and apply what they learn on the job.

Technical and Systems Training

• Partner with IT, Business Analysis, operational leaders, and subject-matter experts to identify technical, systems, and process training needs.
• Develop and coordinate training that supports technology adoption, system changes, and consistent execution of business processes.
• Support accessible training resources, job aids, and knowledge-sharing tools so employees can find what they need when they need it.

Onboarding

• Collaborate with People Strategies, IT, and hiring managers to strengthen the onboarding experience, including Dipped in Blue and role-specific development paths.
• Improve the consistency and effectiveness of onboarding across roles and regions so new hires become productive faster.

High Performing Teams (HPT)

• Support HPT facilitation and related activities across regions.
• Use insights from HPT and other team discussions to identify development priorities and recommend solutions that strengthen team effectiveness.

Measuring Impact and Continuous Improvement

• Work with leaders to define what success looks like for priority initiatives.
• Evaluate learning effectiveness, including participant feedback, skill gains, and how well employees apply what they learned, and, where appropriate, contribution to business results.
• Share progress and impact with leadership and use findings to continuously improve programs and approaches.

Qualification Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in education, instructional design, human resources, business, construction management, or a related field preferred, plus five or more years in training, learning and development, or organizational development with demonstrated adult-learning facilitation.
• Construction or project-based industry experience strongly preferred; credibility with superintendents and project managers is essential.
• Proven ability to assess performance needs and translate them into effective learning solutions; skilled facilitator of discussion-based learning, in person and virtually.
• Strong consultative and relationship-building skills; able to manage multiple priorities and programs at once. Experience creating multimedia or video-based learning content is a plus.
• Proficiency in Microsoft 365. Working knowledge of Procore and Outbuild strongly preferred, or the ability to learn them quickly; Egnyte or ADP a plus.
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel regularly to Blum offices, active job sites, and HPT meetings.

• Regularly required to sit, stand, and walk for extended periods, with the occasional ability to stoop or kneel; must occasionally lift and/or move up to 50 pounds; must be able to walk active job sites in required personal protective equipment.
• Vision abilities include close vision and distance vision; ability to repetitiously use hands, fingers, and arms to operate a keyboard.

Comments

• Professional appearance and demeanor required. Credibility in the field is essential — this role spends significant time on job sites and in front of superintendents and project managers.
• Flexible schedule, including occasional early-morning, evening, or overnight travel to fit field schedules.
• The successful candidate will operate both strategically and tactically, shaping development priorities with executive leadership while also working hands-on with field teams. The role works closely with the People Strategies and Business Analysis teams.
