• 
  

  Familiarity with REViT or other design model viewers is required.

  
  

2. Instructional Design & Learning Experience

• 
  

  Demonstrated experience creating eLearning and onboarding programs for adult learners using ADDIE or similar design models.

  
  
• 
  

  Understanding of adult learning principles, including self-directed and experiential learning.

  
  
• 
  

  Experience developing content with clear objectives, assessments, and reinforcement opportunities.

  
  

3. Technical Writing & Content Development

• 
  

  Strong writing skills to synthesize and translate technical concepts into plain language with appropriate use of terminology.

  
  
• 
  

  Ability to create varied content formats (e.g., diagrams, analogies, case studies, interactive media) to support diverse learning styles.

  
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• 
  

  Prior experience in telecom or data center design-related industries.

  
  
• 
  

  Proficiency with authoring tools such as Articulate 360, Rise, or similar.

  
  
• 
  

  Ability to work independently and manage content development from raw documentation through polished delivery.

  
  
• 
  

  Strong communicator with a clear, professional, and approachable style.
