Job description

Every day, our team members do amazing things in pursuit of our shared purpose to build trust with our clients, partners, subcontractors, and teammates. No matter your background, education, or career path, if you share our vision to create extraordinary experiences, you belong at HITT . Director, Learning & Development Job Description: HITT Contracting is seeking a Director of Learning & Development to lead and elevate learning across our growing organization. As HITT continues to expand in scale, geography, and capability, we are focused on ensuring the way we develop our people keeps pace with the sophistication of our business and the changing needs of the construction industry. At HITT, our mission is to build and deliver exceptional experiences for our clients, partners, subcontractors, and team members. Our approach to learning and development should reflect that same standard. From an intern beginning a career in construction to an experienced superintendent leading complex work in the field, we want our people to have access to relevant, engaging, and high-quality development that helps them perform at their best and build meaningful careers at HITT. This leader will bring a forward-looking perspective to how we develop our people and translate business needs into meaningful learning experiences.
