Trainer

Job Location | Arizona

8230 North El Mirage Rd., El Mirage, AZ 85335

Job Description

Purpose:

This position is required to provide a dedicated Trainer for all new hires and anyone else that requires additional or new training. This training may be needed because the person has just begun their career at LOOK, they have changed jobs, the job content has changed, or new products have been launched.

The Trainer will also be able to provide training that has been previously been done by production workers that has slowed them down from accomplishing their main tasks and production.

Scope:

The Trainer will assume the responsibility for all training needs including, but not limited to:

General Orientation
Work Practices
Attendance requirements
Drug/Alcohol use
Smoking/Vaping policy
Plant layout and flow
Piece Rate Pay
Quality requirements
Production requirements
Safety practices
Personal Protection Equipment
May administer forklift certifications in addition to the Project Coordinator
Harassment and discrimination policy
Tool use
Purposes of Raw, WIP, and FG inventories
Job Processes
Cross-training
Work Ethic/Speed
Will update all training topics on area information boards to ensure up to date instructions, quality alerts, and any other pertinent information is shared with all employees

Details:

The Trainer will spend the majority of the first day of a new hire in a classroom and touring the facility and will review all pertinent work rules and work ethics. The Trainer will also review all PPE and safety equipment use in the classroom environment prior to introducing them to the work areas. The Trainer will also provide lunch for the new employee(s) on their first day.

The Trainer will begin Training either on the line in the specific work-stations, or in special mock-up areas. This is where the new employee will receive on-the-job training from the Trainer. The Trainer owns the training of the new employee until they feel they are ready to perform the functions on their own. Other production workers own the bulk of the “On the Job Training”

The Trainer will be the formal “Mentor” for each new employee and will go over the new employee mentoring report with them for the first 30 days. This should be an opportunity for some great two-way communication to ensure that the new employee has all of the tools required to be successful. The Trainer will also provide feedback to the new employee and the management team as to how the new employee is progressing.

The Trainer will also provide any employee with updated or new training as dictated by updated or new products, or the quality/warranty issues. This training may be done either in the production area or in a classroom as may be required.

The Trainer position is almost like a “Boot-Camp Drill Sargent” without the screaming. While the new employee is placed in the specific position by their supervisor, the Trainer owns most of the higher-level communication over the first 30 days.

Must be able to thoroughly learn all Plywood and Metal related job functions
