Production Training Coordinator
Hugoton, Kansas, United States · Posted 21 days agoDescription
About the Role
The Manufacturing Production Training Coordinator supports a robust training program within a food manufacturing environment. This role ensures that trainers are properly prepared to deliver consistent, compliant, and safe training aligned with food safety, quality, and HR documentation standards. The coordinator assigns new hires and job transfers to qualified trainers, validates training effectiveness, and ensures all training records meet regulatory, audit, and company requirements
What You'll Do
Food Manufacturing Training Program Management
- Develop and deliver Train‑the‑Trainer sessions tailored to food production processes, sanitation requirements, allergen controls, and safety protocols.
- Coach trainers on effective instruction, documentation accuracy, and adherence to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs).
- Conduct periodic evaluations of trainers to ensure consistency across shifts and departments.
HR & Training Documentation Compliance
- Maintain accurate, audit‑ready training records in alignment with HR policies, regulatory requirements (FDA/USDA), and GFSI standards (SQF/BRC/IFS).
- Ensure training documentation—including onboarding records, job‑specific training, cross‑training, and qualification forms—is completed correctly and stored according to HR retention guidelines.
- Partner with HR to ensure training records support employee files, job changes, and compliance audits.
Training Assignment & Coordination
- Assign new hires, temporary employees, and job transfers to qualified trainers based on skill level, certification status, and production needs.
- Track training progress and ensure employees complete required training within established timelines, including GMP, food safety, allergen, and safety training.
- Collaborate with HR, Production Supervisors, and Quality to align training assignments with staffing plans and regulatory requirements.
Training Validation & Competency Verification
- Validate that training has been delivered correctly by observing on‑the‑job training sessions and assessing employee competency in food‑safety‑critical tasks.
- Conduct re‑validation of training for high‑risk processes, CCP/PCP monitoring, sanitation tasks, and equipment operation.
- Identify gaps in training effectiveness and implement corrective actions, including retraining or trainer coaching.
Continuous Improvement & Audit Support
- Analyze training data to identify trends, skill gaps, and opportunities for process improvement.
- Support internal and external audits by providing accurate, complete training documentation and demonstrating training program effectiveness.
- Recommend improvements to training materials, documentation systems, and TtT processes to enhance compliance and operational performance.
About You
You bring experience in food manufacturing, food processing, or other regulated production environments, with a strong understanding of GMPs, food safety principles, and quality requirements. You maintain a high level of attention to detail and demonstrate strong documentation discipline, particularly with HR documentation practices such as record retention, onboarding processes, and compliance tracking.
You communicate effectively, collaborate well across teams, and are comfortable coaching and supporting employees in a fast‑paced operational setting. Your organizational skills and ability to manage time and priorities help you keep training, documentation, and compliance activities running smoothly. You bring a continuous improvement mindset, always looking for opportunities to enhance processes and support a culture of learning.
Preferred candidates may have experience as a trainer, training coordinator, HR assistant, or lead operator within a food manufacturing environment. Familiarity with FDA/USDA regulations, HACCP, Preventive Controls, and GFSI certification programs is beneficial, as is experience working with HRIS systems, LMS platforms, or digital training documentation tools.
