Job description

Your Mission

As Manufacturing Training Manager, you’ll ignite operator readiness across KMM’s manufacturing programs—building capability that protects quality, safety, and on‑time delivery in an AS9100D environment. You’ll set the hands‑on training strategy, standardize methods, and help keep certification records audit‑ready.

Key responsibilities include leading and developing a multi‑site OJT team; ensuring training content and operator certification align to AS9100D, IPC/WHMA‑A‑620, and customer requirements; tracking effectiveness using FPY, scrap, rework, and cycle‑time metrics; driving continuous improvement in skills matrices and qualification workflows; and partnering with the LMS & Onboarding Lead to ensure accurate, timely training documentation.

Required qualifications/skills:

• 5+ years in regulated manufacturing with progression into leadership/training
• Proven technical coaching/instruction for hands‑on production work
• Strong QMS discipline, documentation control, and risk‑based thinking
• Ability to interpret drawings, specs, and controlled work instructions

On the Floor, In the Training Center

Your day starts by scanning training demand across Dickinson and Kerrville—who needs live production coaching, who’s moving through the hands‑on training center, and where documentation must land in the LMS for clean traceability. You’ll check in with OJTs, spot trends in readiness and certification outcomes, and tune the day’s focus based on what the numbers and the floor are telling you. Expect quick pivots: a new operator mastering wire harness fundamentals in the training lab, a moment of real‑time guidance on interpreting customer documentation, and a steady cadence of updates with Operations, Quality, Engineering, and HR to keep everything aligned and audit‑ready by day’s end.
