Full Time
Mid Level

Field Training Coordinator

At Gregory Construction, we build more than roads, runways, and critical infrastructure — we build people. We’re looking for a Field Training Coordinator who understands the jobsite and knows what it takes to help crews succeed. This role is responsible for developing, coordinating, and delivering hands-on field training that supports our heavy civil and mission critical operations. You’ll help make sure our craft and equipment professionals have the training, credentials, and support they need to work safely, efficiently, and with confidence.

This position works closely with superintendents, project managers, safety, and our People team to keep training practical and job-ready — not just paperwork. If you’ve spent time in the field and want to give back by helping the next generation of operators and craft professionals grow, this is a chance to make a real impact. At Gregory Construction, we value hard work, straight talk, and doing things the right way — and we invest in people who do the same.


What You’ll Do

  • Coordinate and support field training programs for craft and equipment personnel

  • Lead and support apprenticeship and workforce development programs

  • Coordinate onboarding and new-hire field orientation

  • Track On-the-Job Learning (OJL) hours and training progress

  • Coordinate NCCER curriculum, assessments, and credentials

  • Ensure training programs meet company policies and DOL, state, and industry requirements

  • Work directly with Superintendents and Project Managers to evaluate training effectiveness

  • Visit jobsites to observe work practices and provide hands-on training support

  • Keep accurate training records, reports, and documentation


What We’re Looking For

  • High school diploma or equivalent required

  • At least 5 years of experience in heavy civil construction or field operations

  • Strong understanding of construction craft roles and equipment operations

  • Experience with training or apprenticeship programs preferred

  • Familiarity with NCCER curriculum and DOL apprenticeship standards preferred

  • Willingness to travel regularly to project sites

  • Prior experience as a superintendent, foreman, or lead operator is a plus

  • Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in Construction Management, Education, HR, or a related field preferred
