ABOUT THE TEAM The Manufacturing Production team is responsible for a wide range of activities that are crucial to the manufacturing process across all our locations. Effective training and development are critical to our success, particularly in empowering sites that may not have dedicated, on-site L&D personnel. The Training & Development (Multi-Site Operations) role is a dynamic, central force responsible for designing, developing, and deploying high-impact learning solutions across our entire production and manufacturing network. This role ensures that our core training practices and resources are accessible, adaptable, and consistently applied, equipping every employee with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to excel, ensure compliance, and drive operational excellence.

Adapt core materials to meet site-specific operational nuances, equipment, and cultural contexts while maintaining overall program integrity. Facilitate Core Programs & Build Local Capability: Directly deliver and facilitate critical core training programs for diverse audiences (from technicians to team leads) at various sites.
