At QISG, The Learning & Development Specialist owns and manages the end-to-end learning and development process for QISG, serving as the central point of accountability for how employees across the QISG, QDC, and EnergyLink brands build the skills they need to perform and grow. Rather than focusing on course production alone, this role leads the full learning lifecycle: diagnosing organizational learning needs, defining the learning strategy and curriculum, managing the programs and platforms that deliver it, coordinating the people who teach it, and measuring its impact on performance.

Working with a high degree of latitude, the Learning & Development Specialist partners with business leaders, subject matter experts, and HR to identify skill or knowledge gaps and translate them into a coordinated learning plan. The role administers the learning management system (LMS) and curated content libraries such as LinkedIn Learning, oversees programs such as onboarding, leadership development, mentoring, and individual development plans (IDPs), and ensures a consistent, measurable, high-quality learning experience. This is a senior individual contributor role that also provides leadership, coaching, and mentoring to others and may act as a lead or first-level supervisor.

Experience designing and managing technical, safety, or compliance learning within the energy, utility, construction, or other highly regulated industries is strongly preferred
