Job Summary
Primoris Renewable Energy is a leading solar construction company dedicated to powering communities with clean, renewable energy across the United States. Our team is purpose-driven, harnessing the power of solar to create sustainable futures, embody core values, and foster a culture of inclusion, safety, and growth. As an organization, we believe the best part of working on our team is our commitment to making tomorrow better than today—for our customers, communities, and each other.
The Training Supervisor is a fully remote position, leading a team of 4-6 onsite field trainers responsible for delivering hands-on, location-based training to employees across various solar project sites. The field trainers teach the curriculum for the company's Registered Apprenticeship Program in general construction, focusing on practical skills, safety protocols, site preparation, equipment handling, and related competencies to prepare apprentices for careers in solar installation and construction. This role ensures consistent, high-quality training delivery, upholds training standards, develops trainer skills, and drives ongoing improvement in training outcomes. The position requires approximately 75% travel to visit field locations, observe training sessions, provide direct coaching, and support trainers on-site. As needed, the Training Supervisor may also facilitate classes, workshops, or training sessions directly to support program delivery, fill gaps, or model best practices. The Training Supervisor reports to the Training Manager and aligns field training efforts with company objectives while working independently from a home office.
