About The Position

General Mills' Supply Chain is one of the most respected supply chains in the industry today. Manufacturing is the sub-function of Global Supply Chain that makes food the world loves. Manufacturing takes raw materials and transforms them into the products we sell to customers. Products are packaged in a variety of formats for sale to grocery, clubs, and food service. The Manufacturing and Engineering Associate (MEA) program is designed to prepare you for both technical and managerial leadership roles within General Mills. You'll make an impact by: Building your capability through exposure and ownership of processing, packaging and broad manufacturing systems. Gaining front line exposure to 24/7 production to leverage problem solving and learning agility while driving improvements and eliminating losses. Learning from and leading Operators, Technicians and Mechanics to grow your coaching, team building and people-development skill set. Managing programs to gain experiences of capital project ownership, new system startups and / or initiative leadership. The fast-paced MEA full-time rotational program consists of 18 months of development, focused on preparing MEAs for technical skill development and people leadership experiences in both Manufacturing and Engineering. MEAs will be placed in one manufacturing plant location for the duration of the program. At their program's completion, MEAs will be placed into a full-time role in manufacturing leadership or engineering based on a combination of business need and personal interest. Typically, this placement is within the same facility that the MEA completes their program in; but the opportunity to relocate to another manufacturing site is possible.
