We are looking for a highly skilled and motivated Senior Trainer, Instructional Design & Training to join our team, reporting directly to the GTM PMO & Business Operations Head. In this senior role, you will lead the design, development, and delivery of high-quality training programs and enablement materials for Telesat’s Business Support System (BSS) and the Canadian Department of National Defence (DND) customer under the Enhanced Satellite Communication Project (ESCP) — a major contract award.   You will be accountable for the full training deliverable set, spanning the BSS, LEO Mission and Network Operations training and User Terminal (UT) operations and field maintenance training, translating complex technical content into structured, self-paced, and instructor-led curricula that meet Canada’s accessibility, format, and Learning Management System requirements.   If you are a proactive learning professional with a passion for building operational readiness and a proven track record delivering training in demanding, mission-critical defence environments, we encourage you to apply and help us achieve our strategic goals.

Responsibilities

• Training Framework & Development Plans: Build development plans and training frameworks for both LEO Mission and Network Operations and User Terminal (UT) operations and field maintenance, based on mission and system configuration use cases and scenarios mutually agreed with Canada prior to material development.  - Mission & Network Operations Curriculum: Establish baseline concepts of the LEO system, LS Portal / API functionality, mission operations and network monitoring, and reporting — including procedural flow, console fluency, mission planning, and routine operations and control.  - Develop UT training covering configuration and components, deployment, commissioning, stowage, operations, safety guidelines, troubleshooting, and field-swappable components, with each course focused on a single UT type identified in coordination with Canada.  - Design structured, self-paced, and repeatable training materials in the required formats — including PowerPoint and immersive video — that support remote product delivery and are installable and accessible within Canada’s IT infrastructure and Learning Management System.  - Ensure all web-based training materials are created in accordance with the CAN/ASC – EN 301 549:2024 accessibility standard and prepared in English, using CFITES (A-P9-050-000/PT-006) as a guide for training development where applicable.  - Plan and deliver in-person, instructor-led courses for operators and CAF members — including over-the-air (OTA) satellite training and hands-on use of fully functional UTs — across the required training serials at Contractor or DND facilities.  - Submit training materials to Canada for evaluation and approval prior to commencement of training, and support updates and additional serials on an as-and-when-required basis via the Task Authorization process.
