Your Role
A commitment to challenging our people to grow, coupled with our inherent curiosity, drives Thornton Tomasetti to be a learning organization and, increasingly, a teaching one.

We often provide resources, structure, additional scaffolding, logistical coordination, and other support to empower TT staff to teach/coach/mentor and learn-from one another. In our work, we emphasize curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement in the efficiency, effectiveness, and scalability of our programs through innovation.
The Learning and Organizational Development Manager will support our staff around the globe in accelerating their growth to more fully reach their potential as well-rounded professionals, with a particular focus on our rapidly growing presence in Asia (India, Vietnam, Australia, etc.).
