The Warehouse Trainer is responsible to implement and support an effective hands-on training program for new and current warehouse team members at our Coldwater facility. The Warehouse Trainer will coach Team Members through the qualification curriculum, which includes becoming certified and operating various types of warehouse equipment (lowboys, reach trucks, forklifts, etc) and learning the various jobs and skills that are necessary to ensure Team Members can work safely and be successful in their roles. During the qualification period, the Warehouse Trainer will evaluate and monitor the Trainee’s performance and regularly communicate progress to the Trainees and their Supervisors. The success of the Warehouse Trainer will be measured by two KPIs – 90-day retention rate and average qualification time.
