Data Center Training Program Manager

You will own how Verda’s data center technicians learn their craft: onboarding, training, and the documentation behind both, across every site. As we grow, you make sure that a technician anywhere in our footprint is trained to the same standard, qualified for the work in front of them, and working from documentation that is actually current.

What You’ll Do

• Build the onboarding program that takes a new technician from their first day to independently productive, and the competency framework that defines what “qualified” means for each task they perform
• Develop and maintain the training curriculum across the full range of work our technicians do - IT hardware handling and rack-and-stack, structured cabling and patching, network operations, liquid-cooling handling, and low-voltage electrical safety - alongside the site-specific procedures each location requires
• Make sure technicians hold the certifications and safety qualifications their work demands, tracking currency and renewals so nothing lapses unnoticed
• Run both hands-on and classroom training, then measure whether it stuck through assessments and sign-offs rather than attendance sheets
• Own the documentation loop: keep SOPs, runbooks, and training materials accurate and versioned as hardware and procedures evolve, partnering with Operations, Hardware, Networking, Safety, and Architecture to catch changes before they reach the floor
• Manage the training records and reporting that show, at any moment, who is trained and qualified for what
• Representative projects: build the technician onboarding program end to end; define the competency matrix that says exactly which technician is qualified for which task across every site; stand up the training-records and certification-tracking system; establish the documentation-maintenance loop that keeps SOPs and training materials current

• Experience building technical training or onboarding programs for hands-on technical staff - data center, manufacturing, field service, aviation, or similar
• Ability to turn expert and tribal knowledge into structured curriculum, competency frameworks, and assessments
• Strong documentation discipline - keeping SOPs and training materials versioned, accurate, and current
• Enough familiarity with the work data center technicians do (hardware, cabling, networking, and the safety context around liquid cooling and low-voltage electrical) to build credible training, partnering with subject-matter experts for depth
• Understanding of certification and safety-qualification tracking, and compliance reporting
• Experience delivering hands-on training and measuring whether it actually changed how people work
• Comfort running an LMS or training-records system as a source of truth
• Bias toward speed and ownership - comfortable building a program from scratch and driving it to adoption
