In this role you will build something that matters, grow with a high-performing team, and leave a legacy in Australian defence manufacturing.
This role is based at Wellcamp, Toowoomba.

* Prioritise training activities based on risk and production impact, integrating corrective and preventive actions.
* Schedule recertifications to ensure full role coverage and maintain audit readiness.
* Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) such as training completion rates, competency pass rates, reduction in human-factor nonconformances, and timely closure of corrective actions.
Do
* Develop and deliver controlled, versioned training programs through classroom sessions, hands‐on practice, floor coaching, and e‐learning, all aligned with work instructions and process specifications.

Check
* Assess training effectiveness using pre‐ and post‐training tests, practical evaluations, LMS records, and KPI dashboards linked to quality outcomes.
* Monitor training compliance, recertification status, and identify competency gaps; provide objective evidence for AS9100 audits.
* Analyse the impact of training on first‐pass yield, rework rates, and nonconformance trends; correlate training actions to corrective and preventative actions, rapid systematic problem solving or Boeing problem‐solving model results.
* Collect stakeholder feedback and conduct periodic training reviews to identify opportunities for improvement.
Act
* Update training content and delivery methods based on audit findings, corrective and preventive action outcomes, process changes, and evolving customer requirements.
* Close the loop on training‐related corrective and preventive actions, verify their effectiveness, and elevate systemic competency risks as needed.
* Implement train‐the‐trainer programmes and floor‐coaching to sustain improvements and embed best practices.
* Maintain and retain controlled training records in compliance with AS9100 retention requirements, support supplier onboarding as necessary.
Who we're looking for
