The Trainer executes a standardized boot camp curriculum and ensures participants demonstrate readiness for supervised line assignment.

This position is intended to be a rescoped operational role, leveraging strong assembly and floor leadership experience rather than formal training management credentials.

Essential Functions:

Facilitate delivery of the Assembler Boot Camp using established curriculum, facilitator guides, and assessment tools.

Demonstrate and coach foundational assembly skills, including:

Hand and power tool use

Mechanical fasteners and torque application

Drawing and standard work interpretation

Quality expectations and stop-work behaviors

Observe learner performance and conduct skill assessments using defined readiness criteria.

Provide real-time coaching and corrective feedback while reinforcing safety, quality, and standard work.

Make documented go/no-go recommendations for learner readiness to transition to supervised line work.

Prepare and maintain hands-on training stations, tools, and materials used in boot camp.

Coordinate with Operations leadership on training schedules, cohort flow, and production constraints.

Escalate learner performance issues or safety concerns appropriately.

Partner with the Education/L&D team to provide feedback on curriculum effectiveness and execution challenges.

Maintain basic training records and completion documentation as required.


Qualifications

Required Education and Experience:

High School Diploma / GED required with 10+ years of experience or 5+ with a Bachelor's degree.

Demonstrated experience as an assembler, foreman, or similar hands-on production role within a manufacturing or modular assembly environment.

Strong working knowledge of assembly tools, fasteners, torque practices, and quality expectations.

Deep understanding of the principles of Lean Manufacturing and Operational Excellence efforts.

Ability to coach and assess others in a hands-on, shop-floor environment.

Comfortable enforcing standards and making pass/fail readiness decisions.

Strong communication skills and ability to work with diverse skill levels.

This is a full-time, exempt position. Standard business hours apply, though evening or weekend work may be necessary to accommodate training schedules.

Success Metrics:

New hires consistently demonstrate readiness for supervised line work upon boot camp completion.

Reduction in early quality defects and safety incidents among new hires.

Positive feedback from MMC Operations on preparedness of boot camp participants.

Consistent and timely execution of boot camp cohorts.

Abilities:

• Exposure to computer screens for an extended period of time.
