THE COMPANY:

We are an award-winning industry leader in building, owning, and operating highly efficient, cost-effective wholesale, colocation, and cloud data centers. Each of our national facilities meets or exceeds the highest industry standards in all operational categories of availability, security, connectivity, and physical resilience.

STACK offers the scale and geographic reach that rapidly growing hyperscale and enterprise companies need. The world runs on data. Data runs on STACK.

THE POSITION:

STACK is seeking a Technical Trainer to deliver and manage technical training programs for Critical Operators supporting a large, multi-phase data center campus. This role ensures technicians are well-prepared to operate mission-critical systems safely and effectively in a highly technical, high-reliability environment. The Technical Trainer will partner with an Instructional Designer (ID) to help ID develop curriculum and will be responsible to deliver instructor-led (classroom and virtual sessions) and hands-on training that takes learners from “zero to operational” with confidence and competence. Together, they will ensure materials are instructionally sound, technically precise, and strategically aligned with the mission of Critical Operations. The Trainer will also leverage existing internal learning paths and third-party resources, tailoring instruction to the systems and operational requirements of this campus.

Additionally, the ideal candidate can masterfully flex between technical accuracy and flawless facilitation. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Deliver comprehensive technical training for Critical Operators through in-person and virtual formats leveraging internal and third-party content such as eLearning, SOPs/APs, job aids, slide decks, breakout groups, polling, whiteboard, and chat.
Conduct hands-on demonstrations and simulations related to electrical, mechanical, controls, monitoring, and safety systems common to mission-critical environments.

Partner closely with ID to build structured ILT and eLearning that progresses from foundational concepts to advanced operational competencies.
Partner with ID to update course materials as procedures evolve or incidents reveal a need for revised or new content.
Partner with stakeholders to ensure training aligns with operational needs and readiness timelines.
Partner closely with ID to provide clear learning objectives, technical content, and guidance to ensure learning meets Critical Operations requirements and to implement continuous improvements to curriculum.
Participate in equipment walkdowns for system familiarization and training insight, using observations to refine content and prepare technicians for system handoff.
Gather technical information from Operations, Engineering, Controls, and Commissioning teams to ensure training accurately reflects current systems and procedures.
Evaluate training effectiveness through assessments, learner feedback, and performance trends.
Assess and document skill attainment and maintain accurate training records, certifications, and compliance documentation and update records in LMS.
