Technical Trainer - Utility Design Engineering

Power your future with Qualus as a Technical Trainer in our Design Engineering department!

The Technical Trainer delivers end-to-end training consultation tailored to both internal Qualus employees and external client needs.

This role leads technical training programs, delivers training sessions, and provides subject-matter direction to instructional designers and learning scientists.

• Collaborate on training initiatives—set scope, success metrics, and milestones; maintain alignment to safety, quality, and operational goals.
• Collaborate with other design engineering SMEs and instructional developers to translate design workflows and job tasks into learning objectives, scenarios, labs, and assessments; review/approve storyboards and modules for technical accuracy and practicality.
• Act as the technical SME for substation design engineering topics (protection and control, physical layout, documentation, QA/QC).
• Serve as the technical administrator of QualU’s Engineering Boot Camp training program, which includes Protection & Control, Physical substation, Settings, Transmission line, and Distribution Engineering tracts.
• Consult with stakeholders (Operations, Engineering, Safety, PM/CM) to identify gaps, prioritize curricula, and define career progression pathways (competency models, proficiency rubrics, evaluator guides).
• Assist with change-management oriented training tied to new tools/processes, plan adoption and reinforcement strategies.
• Use data & analytics (skills assessments, completion and pass rates, design quality/rework) to evaluate impact and recommend enhancements.
• Facilitate selective delivery: host both internal and client training seminars; coach mentors; support train-the-trainer where needed.
• Coordinate logistics with the Training Ops team to ensure smooth execution of training sessions.
• Serve as a client-facing representative for scoping, SOW inputs, and stakeholder updates—clearly communicating status, risks, and results.
• Champion and embed human performance principles throughout programs.
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
• 5+ years in protection and controls and/or physical substation design engineering and 1–2+ years mentoring/coaching or leading technical training initiatives.
• EIT required, PE preferred.
• A familiarity with other facets of utility design engineering, such as power studies, settings file creation, transmission line design, and/or distribution design.
