Job Requirements
At Quest Global, it’s not just what we do but how and why we do it that makes us different. With over 25 years as an engineering services provider, we believe in the power of doing things differently to make the impossible possible. Our people are driven by the desire to make the world a better place—to make a positive difference that contributes to a brighter future. We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.
Position Overview
The Engineering Training Manager serves as the strategic architect of the organization's engineering learning ecosystem. This role is responsible for designing, governing, and scaling a high-performance training strategy to ensure a capable, compliant, and future-ready workforce. Rather than serving as a primary technical instructor, you will act as a strategic partner to internal technical specialists, functional leaders, Human Resources, Quality, Operations, and the Innovation Team. You will own the framework for competency management, certification programs, and knowledge lifecycle management, ensuring that technical learning is fully integrated with organizational scaling and project delivery milestones. Success is achieved through strategic leadership, rigorous program management, and cross-functional influence. While the role may eventually lead a team, it is expected to succeed initially through influence rather than direct authority.
We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach. Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.
We wholeheartedly believe in the diversity of thought that comes with fostering a culture rooted in respect, where everyone belongs, is valued, and feels inspired to share their ideas. We know embracing our unique differences makes us better, and that solving the worlds hardest engineering problems requires diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds. We shine the brightest when we tap into the many dimensions that thrive across over 21,000 difference-makers in our workplace.
