Internship Rotational Development Program Jobs in Iowa

Are you looking to open the doors to a dynamic career combining strategic thinking, hands-on experience, and leadership development? At ASSA ABLOY, our operations professionals continually push the boundaries of what is possible - how can we drive efficiency? optimize processes? make a tangible impact? Put simply: they challenge the status quo to improve our business daily.

Our Rotational Development Program (RDP) is a two-year journey (24 months) designed to immerse you in the core of our Engineering, Operations, and Supply Chain organizations. Through multiple assignments across various facilities within the Commercial Segment of the Americas Division, you'll gain broad exposure to our business, work alongside experienced professionals, and accelerate your career.

Three Focus Areas

As a member of the RDP, you will have an opportunity to experience all facets of our business.  Our goal is to expose you to the breadth of ASSA ABLOY products, processes, and team members that make our business so successful.  The RDP is built around three, core areas:

Engineering

Work directly with our engineering teams to support product development, process improvement, and technical problem-solving. You'll gain hands-on experience with manufacturing technologies, quality systems, and continuous improvement initiatives that drive innovation and performance.

Operational Excellence

Experience the full scope of our production environments. Collaborate with manufacturing teams, plant leadership, and operational excellence experts to ensure our products are built and delivered to the highest standards. You'll apply LEAN principles, support Six Sigma projects, and contribute to strategic initiatives like facility planning and site optimization.

Supply Chain

During this rotation, you will work with our Global Supply Chain team.  You will have the opportunity to enhance your logistics, planning, and purchasing skills while optimizing how our supply chain services our production, and warehousing, facilities.  In today's globalized marketplace, our supply chain professionals are experts at ensuring a steady flow of materials while optimizing our cost structure.

You won't just get a job here. You'll join a global team.

Your rotation will expose you to nearly 175+ brands, in 70 countries, across countless different roles. Within the Americas Division, there are nearly 16,500 team members collaborating with almost 6,000 professionals within the ASSA ABLOY Global Team. This distinction sets us apart as the world leader in access solutions.

About you

To be a competitive candidate, you will need to be an intellectually curious team player, ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow.  We expect you to have an Engineering, Supply Chain, or Operations-related degree with a minimum 3.0 GPA.   Completing prior, degree-specific internships is desirable.  You should have a strong track record of involvement and engagement with on/off campus activities. You must have excellent communication skills, a self-starter, motivated, and driven to seek out challenges and find solutions.  As a member of the RDP, you will have an opportunity to see and work at many of our manufacturing locations.  You must be willing to relocate to each rotation site as well as be prepared to travel for potential trips.
