Program

Summary:

Our 18-month development program provides participants a full-time operational role, designed to improve their manufacturing skills and exposure to Saint-Gobain North America. Participants will be located at one singular manufacturing plant for 18 months and will be involved with quarterly travel to other Saint-Gobain manufacturing sites in North America. The time split between local site projects and EOM program activities is 80:20 respectively.

Classroom-based E-learnings, hands-on action-based learning in operational environments, and networking opportunities accelerate career development. These trainings and quarterly travel opportunities are a requirement for program completion and full participation should be given, except for extenuating circumstances. Start dates may vary, but activities kickoff each year in July and end 18 months later in December of the following year. Upon program completion, EOM Engineers will work with our dedicated Human Resources team to find an operational role in one of our nearly 160 sites throughout North America.

A final placement role is not guaranteed, but most EOM Engineer graduates are able to choose from multiple Saint-Gobain sites for final placement offers.
