Instructional System Designer

Delta Star•Lynchburg, VA

About The Position

At Delta Star, we believe training is more than information, it’s transformation. We’re looking for an Instructional Designer to create learning experiences that make an immediate and lasting impact on safety, performance, and craftsmanship. If you thrive on turning complex information into clear, engaging, and practical learning, this is the role where your skills will shine. As our Instructional Designer, you’ll collaborate with subject matter experts, leaders, and safety teams to design training that meets real-world needs. You’ll use adult learning principles to develop everything from eLearning modules and job aids to instructor-led training and on-the-job learning. You’ll also measure the effectiveness of your work, making sure each program translates into improved performance across the organization. Every day brings something different. One day you might be brainstorming with engineers on how to simplify a complex process, the next you’re building an interactive eLearning module that helps technicians practice safely. You’ll move fluidly between creative design, data-driven evaluation, and collaboration with teams across the company, always focused on one goal: building training that sticks and drives real results.
