Job Description :

Meade Engineering is seeking an experienced and strategic Director of Learning & Development (L&D) to design, launch, and lead our enterprise-wide learning function. This is a new and highly visible role responsible for building the foundation of Meade's learning strategy, spanning compliance, soft skills, and technical training programs to support our rapidly growing organization.

The ideal candidate is both a strategist and an executor, capable of designing a scalable learning framework while rolling up their sleeves to develop and deliver training directly. As Meade continues to expand nationally, this role will play a pivotal part in equipping our people with the knowledge, skills, and tools to perform at their best and grow their careers.

Job Duties :

Learning Strategy & Program Development

  • Develop and implement a comprehensive learning and development strategy aligned with Meade's mission, values, and business goals.
  • Build the foundation for a three-pronged learning structure encompassing Compliance Training, Soft Skills Development, and Technical Engineering Training.
  • Conduct needs assessments to identify learning priorities across business units and establish annual training plans and success metrics.
  • Partner with leadership and department heads to align learning programs with performance goals and career pathways.
  • Create and manage a scalable framework for course design, delivery, tracking, and reporting.

Compliance & Soft Skills Training

  • Oversee design and delivery of mandatory compliance programs, including harassment prevention, safety, and ethics.
  • Develop and facilitate soft-skills courses focused on communication, leadership, collaboration, and culture.
  • Ensure programs meet regulatory requirements and support a consistent, inclusive learning experience for all employees.
  • Establish ongoing learning campaigns to reinforce company values and leadership principles.
  • Technical Training Development

  • Lead the creation of in-house technical training tailored to Meade's engineering disciplines, focusing on data center design, MEP systems, commissioning, and related technical competencies.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering leaders and subject-matter experts to translate internal standards, processes, and tools into structured learning modules.
  • Build frameworks for certification, skill progression, and technical mentorship programs.
  • Evaluate and integrate tools or platforms that enhance learning delivery (e.g., LMS systems, content authoring tools, and performance dashboards).
  • Leadership & Continuous Improvement

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on organizational learning trends and best practices.
  • Establish success metrics and regularly evaluate program effectiveness through feedback, data, and outcomes.
  • Partner with HR to align learning with talent management, performance reviews, and career development planning.
  • Lay the groundwork for future team expansion (e.g., instructional designer, training coordinator) as the function matures.
  • Manage vendor relationships and oversee budgets for learning tools, subscriptions, and external training resources.
  • Qualifications :

  • 8+ years of experience in learning and development, organizational development, or a related discipline, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
  • Proven ability to design, implement, and scale end-to-end training programs from concept through delivery and evaluation.
  • Strong understanding of adult learning principles, instructional design, and blended learning methods.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage technical and non-technical audiences alike.
  • Exceptional project management, organization, and stakeholder collaboration skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and learning platforms (e.g., LMS, content authoring tools, video delivery).
  • Ability to work independently, think strategically, and manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Experience in the engineering, construction, or technical services industry developing technical training programs.
  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Education, Organizational Development, or a related field (Master's preferred).
  • Experience launching and managing an LMS platform.
  • Certification in instructional design, training management, or leadership development (e.g., CPLP, ATD, SHRM-CP / SCP).
  • Interest in building and mentoring a high-performing L&D team as the function expands.
  • Benefits :

    All full-time employees receive a comprehensive benefit package that includes, but is not limited to, medical, dental, and vision insurance with 100% of medical premiums covered by the employer, short and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, a 401(k), vacation time, paid holidays off, and yearly performance-based bonus eligibility.

We do not discriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under applicable laws.
