L3 - Training Specialist

Overview

Our team has developed a strong culture of safety, professionalism and personal responsibility. The Training Specialist will work closely with trainees to assess their needs, set development goals, and provide hands-on coaching in both soft and technical skills. They will deliver individualized or group coaching sessions focused on skill-building (e.g., communication, job readiness, safety standards, etc.). Facilitate in‑car and classroom training sessions, track performance, give constructive feedback and determine readiness for skills assessments.

It is important to maintain a high level of professionalism and responsibility when helping learners acquire new knowledge or skills, and ensuring they are well‑equipped to apply what they’ve learned in real‑world situations. Safety is our #1 responsibility. Training Leads are expected to uphold this in all situations.
