New Equipment Trainer for Army Programs

About the Role

This position serves as a dedicated instructor for New Equipment Training (NET) Programs within the Materiel Fielding and Training (MF&T) division and the TACOM LCMC. The core mission is to facilitate the initial transfer of knowledge regarding various new or displaced equipment to members of the United States Armed Forces. As a subject matter expert, you will operate independently to deliver critical operator and maintainer training, often serving as the sole expert delivering instruction at a given time.

The role blends classroom instruction with hands-on training in motor pool environments, utilizing digital training products to ensure personnel are proficient with complex systems. You will be responsible for the end-to-end management of assigned courses, including maintaining system expertise, researching technical manual updates, and initiating necessary changes to training content and methods. Additionally, you will assist in the development of training products and provide mentorship to junior instructors.

Beyond the classroom, this role involves active participation in the fielding of new or modified equipment. This includes de-processing, staging, inventory accountability, and packaging. You will also coordinate with external personnel, contractors, and program management offices, interfacing directly with customers at training locations to ensure seamless execution of training events.
