Technical Trainers – Role Description
Company Overview:
Horizon Bridge is a consulting company headquartered in Germany and Rwanda. Our core service is helping clients source the right project teams and supporting them in successfully implementing their projects around the world. Recently, we received a project from GIZ to establish a training center at Rwanda Polytechnic (RP)-Huye College for the training and upskilling of metalworkers in Rwanda. This center will be located at RP Huye, and we are excited to contribute to strengthening technical skills and advancing industry standards in the country.
Introduction
In the course of adapting curriculum and delivery plans during the Workshop held in Kigali in January 2026, it became apparent that the trainings need to be led by several technical trainers.
Based on the scheduled hours, the content, and the number of 25 trainees per cohort, a trainer requirement of three trainers was evaluated. This number is necessary to ensure optimal coverage of the topics in theory and practice, to ensure mutual substitution in case of illness or absence, and to supervise the practical activities in the workshop.
To this end, the positions of Technical Trainer will be created in addition to the existing position of Lead Technical Trainer. All trainers will share the same number of hours per cohort.
Core Training Modules
Occupational Health and Safety, Technical Drawing Interpretation, Metal Component Production, Assembly, Finishing Works, and Workplace Integration. These modules are distributed evenly among the training team to ensure balanced workload, consistent delivery quality, and adequate supervision across both theory and practical sessions. Technical Trainer report to the Lead Technical Trainer.
Supplementary Responsibilities
In addition to the core modules, the Technical Trainer will undertake tasks aligned with the responsibilities of a Technical Expert, including:
- Facilitating and overseeing examinations
- Preparing regular reports in line with project requirements and deadlines
- Supporting project coordination tasks as delegated by the Team Leader
- Contributing to the development of communication materials and engaging in networking activities as required
- Assisting in the establishment and equipping of a model workshop
- Organising and implementing information and networking events
- Promoting employment opportunities and supporting company network development
The Technical Trainers will alternate with other Technical Experts in implementing the training delivery plan and timetable, while maintaining primary responsibility for the modules listed above.
