Platforms & Services (P&S) Operations Leadership Development Program (OLDP)

About the Leadership Development Program How does it feel to work on a team driven to make a big impact? Empowering. We believe your career should always be growing. And that’s exactly what it will do at BAE Systems as part of our Leadership Development Program (LDP). The LDP is designed to accelerate the development and career of highly-motivated recent college graduates who aspire to achieve their leadership potential. This is accomplished through challenging and rewarding rotational assignments, technical and leadership training, advanced education, leadership opportunities and exposure, and mentorship. You’ll hit the ground running with a company truly committed to your growth as you enjoy a special camaraderie on a team dedicated to protecting what really matters. Here's what Geoff, current OLDP participant, has to say about benefits of the program.

As an Operations Leadership Development Program participant, you will gain:

• Experience : The OLDP consists of three, one-year rotations; each with increasing responsibility. Each rotation will include experience in Supplier Partnerships, Manufacturing and Program & Strategy. It is designed to provide a diverse set of experiences within Operational areas and disciplines. OLDP participants are also exposed to a variety of networking opportunities and strategic project initiatives.
• Flexibility : The OLDP provides flexibility for program participants, which includes OLDP participant input of 2nd and 3rd rotational assignments and/or geographic location that align with business need and program requirements.
• Education : You will be required to complete a Master’s Degree as part of this program. BAE Systems offers robust tuition assistance for graduate school. The school and specific degree (MBA, Mechanical Engineering, etc.) is chosen by the candidate, providing it is applicable to the business and the program structure.
• Opportunity to travel : Our OLDP primarily rotates to locations within the United States. Your first rotation will typically be at one of our major locations, such as York, PA; Kingsport, TN; Louisville, KY; or Aiken, SC. These assignments can change based on business need. Your second and third rotations may be at any of our sector locations nationwide.
• Mentorship : Each OLDP will have a mentor to expose them to diverse and challenging experiences, while providing guidance in choosing rotations, career development, and off-program placement.
• Personal growth : The program seeks to facilitate the growth of an individual’s leadership skills through an annual, week-long leadership development conference (LDC). This conference provides personalized leadership training as well as an opportunity to network with senior BAE Systems executives and other leadership development program participants across the company. Participants can also expect to complete a technical and leadership curriculum during the program which will provide a holistic career development experience through a mix of in-person and virtual trainings.

The OLDP is a three-year rotational program designed to develop highly motivated, entry-level individuals into future leaders. You’ll have the opportunity to experience assignments in several operational functions, business areas, and product groups nationwide.

• Supply Chain Analyst
• Manufacturing Engineer
• Production Control/Planning
• Continuous Improvement
• Operations Program Manager
• Strategic Operations
• Value Stream Supervisor
