• Develop and deliver comprehensive training programs for internal operational teams, ground handlers, contractors, and airlines
• Support operational trials, simulations, and drills by preparing stakeholders through targeted training
• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders such as ORAT specialists, project managers and operational teams
• Create and update training materials, including presentations, quick reference guides and facilitator manuals
• Maintain accurate training records, reconcile attendance, and generate compliance reports for regulatory and operational needs

At Auckland Airport, we are a busy hive of activity, and a lot of what we look for is how you would align with our AKL values All In | Tātou tatou – How we feel, Know How | Kōkiri Tahi – How we think and Let’s Go | Karawhiua – How we act.

To ensure your success in this role, you will need:

• Experience in developing and delivering training for system and process changes
• Proven ability to build trust and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Ability to develop tailored, high-impact training programs that meet diverse stakeholder needs
• Expert delivery of classroom, virtual, and hands-on training sessions
