Manufacturing Leadership Development Program
Our Manufacturing Leadership Development Program is designed to identify future leaders for JB Poindexter & Co to help further facilitate our organizational growth. The program is designed to offer an accelerated path to Senior Manager, Director, and Vice President level roles in operations or supply chain at one of our businesses.
As part of the program, you will have direct access to senior leaders across multiple companies and the corporate office. The selected candidates will participate in our two-year rotation program. Each participant will spend six months in an operations or supply chain position with the intent of being able to learn about the operations and the broader business unit.
Participants will develop an Individual Development Plan in conjunction with the program to provide a comprehensive learning experience. Program participants will report directly to our Corporate VP of Operations, who will serve as an executive-level mentor during the program.
There are two hubs for our Leadership Development Program. Each rotation in the program will be at one of our manufacturing businesses in and around Elkhart, IN, Sturgis, MI, and Reading, PA.
Upon completion of the program, candidates will be offered a leadership position in one of our manufacturing locations within the United States. Your willingness to be flexible in terms of location during and after the program is critical for this role.
