Job Description

Join a Company Built to Grow – Powered by People

At Virginia Transformer , we’re not just manufacturing custom transformers — we’re building power solutions that move the world. As a privately held, organically growing company , we thrive on momentum, innovation, and grit.

If you love the thrill of manufacturing, the strategy of an endurance race, and the energy of a fast-moving train — this is your track. We train hard, grow together, and lead with purpose. Every transformer we build is custom, every challenge unique, and every team member essential.

We’re looking for those ready to lead, fueled by commitment, and driven by impact. One team. One mission. One source.

Training Lead – Vocational & Technical Programs

Location : Roanoke, VA

About the Role

Virginia Transformer Corp. is seeking an experienced Training Lead with a strong vocational or technical instruction background — ideally including hands-on welding training — to develop and deliver practical, skills-based training across our manufacturing operations. This is an on-the-floor, technical role focused on building workforce capability and ensuring employees are fully skilled in transformer production processes and related trades.

You’ll work closely with production supervisors, engineers, and HR to identify skill gaps, train new and existing employees, and develop structured learning programs that strengthen our workforce across multiple sites.

What You’ll Do

Hands-On Training & Instruction

  • Conduct in-person training on transformer assembly, winding, basic welding and fabrication , blueprint reading, and shop safety.
  • Deliver clear, practical instruction to employees at various skill levels — from entry-level operators to experienced technicians.
  • Develop easy-to-follow job aids, visual guides, and workshop demonstrations.
  • Support new-hire onboarding and upskilling of existing employees in key technical areas.

Program Coordination & Support

  • Assist in developing and maintaining structured vocational and apprenticeship programs.
  • Coordinate schedules, materials, and resources for training sessions.
  • Maintain training records and assist with compliance documentation.
  • Collaborate with supervisors and quality teams to ensure training aligns with performance and safety expectations.
  • Continuous Improvement

  • Evaluate employee progress and provide constructive coaching and feedback.
  • Gather input from the production floor to continuously improve training materials.
  • Support process standardization and help drive a consistent learning culture across all plants.
  • What You’ll Bring

  • Associate or Bachelor’s degree in Technical Education, Industrial Technology, or a related trade field.
  • 5+ years of experience as a vocational instructor, technical trainer, or skilled trades educator.
  • Experience teaching welding, fabrication, or metalworking fundamentals in a manufacturing, trade school, or apprenticeship setting.
  • Strong background in manufacturing, mechanical / electrical systems, or industrial maintenance.
  • Proven ability to teach and communicate effectively with diverse learners.
  • Working knowledge of adult learning methods, safety practices, and basic instructional design.
  • Comfortable leading both classroom and shop-floor training sessions.
  • Preferred :

  • Experience training in transformer manufacturing, electrical assembly, or heavy industrial equipment.
  • Prior collaboration with community colleges, apprenticeship programs, or technical schools.
  • Familiarity with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and training documentation.
  • Why Join Us

    At Virginia Transformer, you’ll make a real impact by developing the hands-on skills that keep America’s power infrastructure running. You’ll train and mentor employees who build the custom transformers that power industries, cities, and critical infrastructure across North America — while helping shape the next generation of skilled trades talent.
