Junior Trainer

Role Overview

The Junior Trainer is
responsible for supporting the design, coordination, delivery, assessment and
continuous improvement of technical training programs delivered through the
Synkron Training Center. Working under the direction of the Training Specialist,
the role supports the full training lifecycle across Synkron's core technical
disciplines, including industrial automation, electrical systems, mechanical
systems, mechatronics, instrumentation and controls, equipment maintenance,
troubleshooting and related engineering capabilities.

The Junior Trainer
delivers classroom, practical, virtual and field-based training; supports
curriculum and training material development; facilitates trainee assessments;
maintains learning records; supports LMS administration; prepares training
equipment and laboratories; and assists in monitoring the effectiveness of
training interventions.

This is a
developmental technical training role. The Job Holder is expected to
progressively build the technical depth, facilitation capability and training
management competence required to independently manage increasingly complex
training programs – supporting internal Synkron engineers, client technical
teams, partner engineers and external trainees, and contributing to positioning
the Synkron Training Center as a high-quality regional centre for industrial
and engineering capability development.

Key Responsibilities

1. Technical Training
Delivery: Support and deliver structured technical training under the guidance
of the Training Specialist through classroom instruction, hands-on practical
sessions, technical demonstrations, equipment-based and simulation-based learning,
virtual/hybrid sessions and field or client-site training, across areas
including industrial automation, PLC programming, electrical and mechanical
systems, mechatronics, instrumentation and controls, equipment installation,
maintenance, diagnostics and fault-finding.

2. Training Preparation
& Facilitation Support: Ensure training materials, presentations,
equipment, training kits, rooms and laboratories are ready and current ahead of
each session; support the Training Specialist in delivering complex or advanced
programs; and progressively facilitate assigned modules independently,
including one-on-one coaching for trainees needing extra support.

3. Curriculum &
Training Content Development: Support the development and version-controlled
maintenance of technical curricula, manuals, facilitator guides, trainee
workbooks, presentations, practical exercises, troubleshooting guides, SOPs,
assessment tools and question banks, and recommend improvements based on
trainee feedback and technical developments.

4. Trainee Assessment
& Competency Evaluation: Administer pre- and post-training, knowledge,
practical and competency assessments; mark and record results accurately;
provide constructive feedback; identify trainees needing additional coaching or
remedial training; and support analysis of competency gaps.

5. LMS & Digital
Learning Administration: Support administration of learning programs through
Zoho Learn, Zoho Trainer Central and other approved platforms – uploading and
maintaining training materials, courses, assessments and trainee records,
monitoring participation and completion, and assisting in converting classroom
content into digital learning materials.

6. Training Laboratory,
Equipment & Practical Learning Support: Set up, test and safely operate PLC
kits, simulation, electrical, mechanical, instrumentation and demonstration
equipment; conduct basic maintenance and routine checks; maintain equipment registers;
and ensure practical training areas remain organised, safe and ready for use.

7. OEM, Certification
& Internal/Client Training Support: Support training programs associated
with OEM partners (Siemens, Danfoss, Heuft and others), assist with
certification tracking, participate in OEM technical training to build trainer
capability, support the development of internal Synkron engineers and technical
teams, and support client and external training delivery including onsite
sessions at client facilities.

8. Training
Coordination, Effectiveness & Compliance: Work closely with the Training
Specialist and Academy Administrator on calendars, schedules, attendance,
records and reports; collect trainee feedback and support post-training reviews
and continuous improvement; and ensure all training activities comply with
applicable health and safety requirements.
