What You Will Do

Start Your Career in Manufacturing Operations!

Gain hands-on experience across multiple manufacturing disciplines and build the foundation for future opportunities in operations supervision, production management, and plant leadership at Clarios.

The Manufacturing Leadership Development Program (MLDP) is designed for individuals interested in building a career in manufacturing operations and plant leadership. Unlike traditional corporate rotational programs, MLDP provides hands-on experience within Clarios manufacturing facilities, exposing participants to the people, processes, and operations that drive plant success.

Through the program, you will gain experience in functions including Quality, Manufacturing Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, Operations Supervision and more, while working directly with plant teams and operational leaders. Rotations are designed to provide a broad understanding of manufacturing operations, strengthen problem-solving capabilities, and develop the business acumen needed for long-term success in a production environment.

The Clarios program is a two-year rotational development program consisting of three 8-month rotational assignments within our U.S.-based manufacturing facilities. Assignments vary based on business needs and provide challenging opportunities to support plant operations, improve processes, lead projects, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Upon successful completion of the program, participants are placed into a manufacturing-based role where they can continue building their technical and operational expertise. The program is intended to accelerate development and prepare associates for future opportunities in operations supervision, production management, and plant leadership as they progress in their careers.

During your assignment with Clarios, you may have a variety of developmental opportunities in addition to your work assignments, such as, roundtable discussions with senior leaders to skill-building workshops, networking events, and community activities. No matter what your assignment, you will be presented with exceptional opportunities that help you explore diverse career paths!
