Job description

Technical Trainer
Location: Shafter, CA (Onsite with travel throughout the Central Valley)
Salary: $85,000 – $115,000 DOE

A well-established leader in food production, agriculture, and industrial operations is investing in the next generation of workforce development and technical excellence. This organization operates across multiple business units throughout California’s Central Valley and is known for combining innovation, operational excellence, and continuous learning.

This position plays a critical role in developing technical talent across manufacturing, food processing, industrial automation, and operations environments. You’ll have the opportunity to influence employee development, create impactful training programs, and work closely with engineering and operations teams to build a stronger, more skilled workforce.

The Opportunity

This role exists to expand and enhance technical training programs across multiple operating locations. The SME Technical Trainer will take ownership of developing curriculum, delivering advanced technical instruction, and evaluating training effectiveness for employees at various stages of their careers.

You’ll partner with operational leaders, engineers, and technical teams to identify training needs and develop engaging learning experiences that support business objectives. Ideal candidates enjoy sharing knowledge, building relationships, and transforming complex technical concepts into practical, hands‑on learning opportunities.

What You’ll Do

• Develop technical training programs aligned with organizational and operational requirements.
• Create engaging classroom curriculum, training materials, simulations, and instructional content for technical audiences.
• Deliver advanced training programs covering manufacturing, industrial systems, automation, electrical, and mechanical concepts.
• Partner with engineering and operations teams to assess training needs and customize learning plans for specific business units.
• Evaluate training effectiveness, maintain training records, provide advancement recommendations, and continuously improve learning outcomes.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience in manufacturing, food processing, industrial operations, automation, maintenance, or a related technical field.
• Strong knowledge of electrical systems, mechanical systems, industrial automation, or other technical disciplines.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and exposure to CAD, Inventor, Ignition, LMS platforms, or similar technical software.
• Bilingual English/Spanish communication skills with the ability to effectively train and engage diverse audiences.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to influence workforce development across multiple operations throughout California’s Central Valley.
• High visibility role with direct collaboration alongside training leadership, engineering teams, and operational stakeholders.
• Ability to combine technical expertise, creativity, and education in a role that makes a measurable organizational impact.
• Stable and growing organization that values continuous improvement, employee development, and knowledge sharing.

This position offers a unique blend of technical expertise, training, curriculum development, and field engagement. You’ll spend time in classrooms, production environments, and operational facilities, creating meaningful learning experiences that help employees build valuable skills and advance their careers.

The ideal candidate is equally comfortable presenting to a classroom, collaborating with engineers in the field, developing digital learning content, and mentoring new trainers. Travel throughout the Central Valley is expected, with occasional overnight and international travel opportunities based on business needs.

If you’re looking for a role where you can make an impact while continuing to grow professionally, this could be the right next step.
