Senior Learning & Development Specialist

The Senior Learning & Development Specialist is an experienced individual contributor responsible for architecting how ESI builds, delivers, and improves training across the company. This role is the ESI Academy's learning design authority and its primary design partner to Technical Trainers and operational subject-matter experts. Rather than functioning as a traditional content producer, the Senior Learning & Development Specialist operates as a force multiplier for the Academy. They elicit expertise from field and office subject-matter experts, design learning architecture that drives application and behavior change, orchestrate AI-assisted production to expand Academy capacity, and assure the quality and accuracy of every training asset that carries the ESI Academy brand in safety-sensitive environments. This position has no direct reports and is hands-on by design. Working closely with the ESI Academy Leader, Technical Trainers, OrgDev Program Managers, and operational leaders, the Senior Learning & Development Specialist establishes the standards, frameworks, and production practices that allow the Academy to scale training quality and consistency across craft, technical, safety, and operational domains. This is an in-person role and is based at our headquarters in Meridian, Idaho.
