The PCC Management Development Program (MDP) provides qualified individuals with the opportunity to learn PCC’s business and assume leadership positions within the company.
Training the next generation of management is essential to PCC’s continued success as an industry leader. The MDP is designed to teach participants the critical aspects of PCC’s business so that they can effectively influence the future direction of the company.
MDP participants rotate through at least four positions over a 24 to 27 month training period. The rotations involve on-the-job assignments that provide maximum exposure to PCC’s operations. Potential rotations include:
Engineering
The MDP participants gain an understanding of the complexities of casting and process development. Participants work towards understanding quality, part and dimensional requirements, and the design of products and processes that address never-ending improvement in areas of safety, biomechanics, productivity, and operating costs.
Human Resources
MDP participants learn the fundamentals of employee relations and employment law compliance while gaining experience in implementing PCC policy both at the plant and division levels.
Finance and Accounting
MDP participants learn PCC’s cost and accounting systems and the ways in which these contribute to operational effectiveness.
Manufacturing Planning
MDP training is centered on the management of product plans to satisfy customer requirements in line with manufacturing capacity.
Sales and Marketing
MDP participants analyze customer needs and implement marketing strategies.
Safety
MDP projects focus on developing cost-effective engineering and administrative controls to enhance the safety and health of PCC employees. MDP participants assist in the review of safety policies and issues. MDP participants gain an understanding of OSHA requirements for industry and the true cost of injuries, as well as the successes and failures related to engineering of the facility or product.
Production Supervisor
MDP participants direct the activities of a production department to satisfy customer requirements, while improving productivity and reducing costs.
Qualifications
Quality is not a negotiable item in our business; it is a given. Our
customers expect it, but, more importantly, we expect it of ourselves.
Quality is equally important in the people we hire. We look for high
standards, dedication to quality, attention to detail, excellent organizational
skills, creativity, and integrity.
The Management Development Program strongly encourages qualified
individuals with the following credentials to apply:
- Graduate degree in Business Administration ( e.g., “MBA” Degree) or Engineering
- Undergraduate degree in Engineering with technical work experience
- Junior Military Officers (“JMO”) program experience
Performance Evaluation and Compensation
The MDP is designed for participants to succeed, but standards for
success are high. MDP participant performance is reviewed
on a semi-annual basis. Each participant is assigned both
a mentor who supports the participant
throughout the program and a job coach for each rotation.
MDP base compensation and benefits are very competitive.
In addition, MDP participants share in PCC’s profits through
the quarterly bonus program.
Future Employment
MDP participants are uniquely positioned to take advantage of the many
remarkable career growth opportunities that PCC has to offer.
During the final three months of the program, participants
confer with Human Resources managers and others about the opportunities
for full-time placement in the PCC Structurals operations.
