Technical Training Lead
Salary: £(phone number removed)
Location: Greater Manchester for logistical reasons, but open to exceptional candidates from across the UK.
Opportunity to join a rapidly expanding client in rail that has ambitious growth targets and a commitment to investing in people and technology
Looking for a strong trainer to overhaul and create training packages from scratch.
Description:
This person will be responsible for developing, coordinating, and modernizing technical training across multiple projects.
The job involves:
Creating user-friendly, digital training packages from existing technical documentation.
Acting as a conduit between the shop floor and training development—gathering real-world issues and turning them into training content.
Standardizing training materials and approaches across projects.
Liaising with project specialists to ensure training is relevant and solution-focused.
Supporting the integration of new technologies (e.g., tri-mode trains, hybrid vehicles) into training programs.
What experience and skills does the candidate need?
Training Development: Ability to create training packages from scratch, not just repurpose existing materials.
Modern Training Methods: Comfortable with digital and interactive training tools (e.g., Articulate 360), moving away from traditional PowerPoint-heavy approaches.
Technical Background: Railway experience is preferred, but candidates from other technical sectors (ex-forces, engineering, marine, aircraft) are valued for their transferable skills. Will consider options outside of this should the candidate have a strong approach to modern training methods (Not PowerPoint)
Be a creative training professional who can develop content from scratch and isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo
