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 ## Related Videos - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Transforming Education: A Journey from interactive Markdown to Remote-Labs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/941-transforming-education-a-journey-from-interactive-markdown-to-remote-labs) - [How to Build for Decentralized Systems](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/931-how-to-build-for-decentralized-systems) - [Seriously gaming your cloud expertise: from cloud tourist to cloud native](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/373-seriously-gaming-your-cloud-expertise-from-cloud-tourist-to-cloud-native) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [From Training to Adoption: Engineering a GenAI Learning Product That Sticks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2060-from-training-to-adoption-engineering-a-genai-learning-product-that-sticks) ## Related Articles - [System change: restart as developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/39-system-change-restart-as-developer) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Best Coding Boot Camps in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/237-best-coding-boot-camps-in-germany) - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
