This position reports to the Technical Training Manager. The trainer supports the launch and ongoing operation of Memphis safety training, from construction mobilization through production. This includes orientation, task-specific, high-risk, and site-specific instruction. The role also maintains training records and course materials, coordinates training equipment and vendors, and responds to training-related incidents, quality escapes, and missed qualifications by leading root-cause analysis and corrective action. This is an on-site role in Memphis, Tennessee, with travel to other SpaceX sites as required.
