  • Technical Background: Solid experience in the installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting of mechanical or electromechanical equipment—ideally in industrial or automation environments. 

  • Industry Experience: Familiarity with conveyor systems, sortation equipment, or similar automated machinery is a strong advantage. 

  • Controls Knowledge: Exposure to control systems or industrial software is a plus, though not required. 

  • Training & Communication: Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics clearly to diverse audiences. 

  • Instructional Experience: Prior experience delivering technical training, coaching, or mentoring is highly desirable. 

  • Digital Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Word, Excel); experience with e-learning platforms or digital training tools is a bonus. 

  •  

 

Additional Requirements 

  • Must be comfortable delivering a demo lesson as part of the interview process. 

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment. 

  • Must pass a background check to access secured customer sites. 

 

Travel Expectations 

  • Up to 30% travel annually, mostly within the continental US. 

  • Higher travel expected during the first 1–2 years for onboarding and training center development. 

  • Occasional international travel may be required. 

 

Why Join Us? 

  • Be part of a global leader in automation and logistics technology. 

  • Help shape the future of technical training in North America. 

  • Work in a collaborative, innovative, and supportive environment.
