About This Role

NorthStar Energy Solutions is seeking a driven Technical Trainer to join our Training team.

• Prepare, update, and maintain training materials and curriculum to support knowledge and skill development.
• Identify training gaps and recommend innovative approaches — new materials, methodologies, and activities — to enhance the learning experience.
• Evaluate trainee performance against program objectives and provide feedback to leadership.
• Maintain a working knowledge of all training programs and stay current on industry best practices and regulations.
• Collaborate with leadership and safety teams on the continuous improvement of training programs.
• Serve as a mentor by encouraging and inspiring trainees and co-workers, and by contributing to a positive, respectful work environment.
• Uphold the integrity of company training standards, curriculum, and expectations.
• Travel as needed to support training across company job sites and locations.
• Commit to advancing through any additional required training or certifications.

What You'll Bring

• A passion for training, with the ability to teach effectively to audiences with varying levels of expertise.
• Strong communication, mentorship, and leadership skills.
• Working knowledge of OSHA, NESC, and other industry safety regulations.
• Working knowledge of educational theory and industry best practices in training delivery.
• Proficiency with computers and the ability to learn new software and training systems quickly.
• Physical ability to work in a classroom or field setting, including standing or sitting for extended periods, bending, reaching, and lifting up to 65 lbs.
• Stamina to work outdoors in adverse weather conditions and noise.

Job Qualifications

• Journey-level Lineworker certificate or equivalent required.
• Bilingual (English-Spanish) is strongly preferred.
• Training experience with craftworkers or safety-professional audiences, from pre-apprentice to journey-level, preferred.
• Ability to travel as needed to support training at company job sites and locations, and to relocate if required by the assigned location or territory.

Educational / Certification Requirements

• Journeyman Lineman license or certification required (certificate of completion of a formalized apprenticeship program; documentation required).
• Ability to climb, CPR, and First Aid required (can be obtained post start); OSHA 10/30-Hour certification or OSHA-authorized trainer status is a plus.

As a NorthStar Energy Solutions employee, you will have access to a comprehensive range of benefits designed to support you and your family, including:

• 401(k) plan with immediate employer matching and vesting.
