Training Manager with a Focus on Skills Development

Would you like to combine teaching, structure and organisational development in a technical environment? Do you enjoy both standing in front of a group and delivering training, and working behind the scenes to plan, coordinate and develop how an organisation works with skills?
Then this could be the role for you.
ABOUT THE POSITION:
We are now looking, on behalf of a client, for a Training Manager with a focus on skills development for a high-tech, safety-critical organisation. The organisation provides service and maintenance for advanced technical systems, where quality, documentation, the right skills and clear working methods are central to everyday work.
In this role, you will have overall responsibility for planning, coordinating, developing and delivering training initiatives within the organisation. This could involve anything from introducing new employees to providing skills development training for more experienced staff.
You do not need to be a technical expert from the outset. The organisation has specialists with in-depth technical expertise, whom you will work with to ensure that the training has the right content. Your strength instead lies in creating structure, understanding the organisation’s needs and turning knowledge into training that is clear, relevant and engaging.
An important part of the role is therefore identifying the skills needs within the organisation. You will work closely with managers, technical specialists and various roles requiring authorisation to understand what employees need to know today and in the future. Based on this, you will develop and structure training programmes, training materials and the range of courses on offer.
At the same time, this is an operational role. You will deliver training yourself and meet participants in both small and large groups.
The organisation operates at two locations. You will mainly be based in Arboga, with regular trips to the Linköping area.
Main duties:
Plan, coordinate and deliver induction and skills development training.
Develop and structure the organisation’s training programmes.
Produce, develop and adapt training materials together with the organisation’s specialists.
Build and maintain a clear structure for the organisation’s training offer and course catalogue.
Map and follow up on training and skills needs.
Work with managers, technical specialists and various roles requiring authorisation on training needs and priorities.
Ensure that training content is up to date and reflects the organisation’s working methods, processes and requirements.
Help develop and keep the organisation’s induction for new employees up to date.
Act as a natural point of contact for questions concerning training and skills development.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO:
Above all, we are looking for someone who enjoys teaching and creating structure. You are confident when meeting people and can communicate information in an educational way to people with different experiences and levels of prior knowledge.
We would like you to:
Have experience delivering training, workshops, inductions or similar activities.
Be able to produce, structure or adapt training materials.
Be used to planning, coordinating and following up on activities independently.
Understand how processes, working methods and documentation function within an organisation.
Communicate confidently with different parts of an organisation and enjoy working with operational staff, specialists and managers alike.
Have a structured approach to work and be able to drive your own work forward.

It is an advantage if you have worked in a technical environment, workshop, maintenance, industry, aviation or another regulated setting where quality, documentation and clear processes are important. A teaching qualification or previous experience in a coordinating role is also an advantage.
As a person, we believe you are educational, communicative and attentive, while also being able to take the initiative and get things done. You need to be able to switch between standing in front of a group and delivering training, sitting with a specialist to understand a new area, and then independently creating a structure for how that knowledge should be passed on.
In other words, you do not need to know everything from the outset, but you do need to be curious and enjoy learning new things.
