• Support facilitation of training on company policies, SOPs, safety standards, and operational systems (e.g., LMS, WMS/C3).
• Partners with warehouse leadership to ensure structured training programs are consistently executed for new hires and existing associates.

Administrative & LMS Management

• Record Integrity: Maintain the training program within the Quality Management System and any required physical training documentation, ensuring every associate has a complete, accurate, and audit-ready training profile.
• Compliance Tracking: Proactively monitor certification and qualification expiration dates (e.g., PIT/Forklift, HazMat, Safety protocols) to prevent compliance gaps or operational disruption.
• SOP Document Control: Coordinate distribution and version control of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to ensure associates are trained on current, approved processes.

Logistics & Scheduling

• Shift Coordination: Manage the master training calendar across 1st, 2nd, and 3rd shifts, ensuring training sessions do not disrupt peak shipping and receiving windows.

• Equipment Certification: Schedule and track practical evaluations and certifications for Powered Industrial Trucks (PIT) and other applicable equipment, ensuring only authorized personnel operate machinery.

Reporting & Auditing

• Audit Support: Prepare and present training documentation during internal audits, client audits, OSHA inspections, and regulatory reviews.
• Productivity Reporting: Generate reports on training completion rates and "Time to Productivity" for new hires to help Operations plan for peak seasons.

Training Metrics & Executive Reporting

• Develop, maintain, and refine training performance metrics (e.g., training compliance rates, record accuracy, SOP revision timeliness, onboarding productivity, retraining trends, certification status, and OJT completion).
• Present training metrics and KPI trends to senior leadership in a professional, concise, and data‑driven format during management reviews, quarterly business reviews, or on an as‑needed basis.
• Translate complex training data into meaningful business intelligence, clearly communicating operational impact, compliance risks, and recommended corrective actions.
• Demonstrate readiness to represent the Training function confidently during executive briefings, audits, client meetings, or strategic planning discussions.

Critical Skills and Abilities

• Technical Skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office (Excel is critical for tracking metrics). Experience with Learning Management Systems, Quality Management Systems and/or Warehouse Management Systems is a plus.
• Organization: Exceptional organizational skills with a "zero-error" approach to data entry, understanding that a missing record can lead to a regulatory finding.
• Communication: Ability to communicate clearly within a diverse workforce, from entry‑level associates to senior facility management.
• Leadership: Leadership and coaching skills in fast‑paced warehouse environments for a team of Training Coordinators across multiple sites.
• Experience with "Train-the-Trainer" models in a manual labor setting.
• Ability to troubleshoot training system, LMS tools and basic classroom technology (tablets, hand‑held scanners used for training).
