Senior Manager, G1 Training and Onboarding

T1 Energy is bringing solar manufacturing back to the U.S. by building a domestic solar supply chain. Our mission is to invigorate America with scalable, reliable, and low-cost energy. Our fully operational 5GW solar module facility in Wilmer, Texas, can manufacture more than 20,000 modules every 24 hours. By the time you finish reading this paragraph, we will have produced two solar panels that will power American homes and fuel domestic AI. We're focused on building advanced American manufacturing and we're passionate about engineering a better future filled with abundant energy.

The Role

T1 Energy is looking to hire a Senior Training & Onboarding Manager to lead the development and execution of world-class training programs at our 5 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Wilmer, Texas. This is a high-impact role at the heart of our operations; you'll build the systems, content, and culture that get people up to speed fast and keep them performing at their best. Solar or advanced manufacturing experience is strongly preferred.

What You’ll Do

· Design, build, and continuously improve onboarding and training programs for production floor operators, technicians, and new manufacturing hires across all shifts.

· Partner with plant leadership, engineering, and HSE teams to identify training gaps and develop role-specific competency frameworks tied to production quality and safety standards.

· Develop and manage a train-the-trainer program to scale learning capacity across the facility as we grow headcount.

· Create and maintain standard work documentation, SOPs, visual aids, and e-learning content for solar module assembly processes, equipment operation, and quality control procedures.

· Track training completion, certification status, and time-to-proficiency metrics; report on program effectiveness and continuously iterate based on data and feedback.

· Lead new employee orientation and ensure a smooth, consistent onboarding experience that reflects T1 Energy's culture and operational expectations from day one.

· Manage the Learning Management System (LMS), assign training curricula, and maintain accurate employee training records to support audit and compliance readiness.

Who You Are

· A builder. You've created training programs from scratch in fast-moving manufacturing environments, not just inheriting someone else's playbook.

· Deeply familiar with the production floor. You know what good looks like in a high-volume manufacturing operation and you can translate technical processes into training that sticks.

· A strong communicator who can work with frontline workers, engineers, and executives equally well, and who earns trust quickly across all levels.
