Production Management Development Assistant (Level 2)

Manufacturing is the core of our business—producing the products that pets love and people trust is no small feat. We’ve been around for a while; we’ve revolutionized and refined the process, but we continue to dare ourselves to ask, “What’s next?”. 
Joining Nestlé Purina as a Production Management Development Associate means you're joining our factory family. You'll play a key role in leading people and the operations floor through the entire path to high-quality pet food production.

Following your experiential training, you’ll handle all aspects that touch and affect the production line—the epicenter of our factories. 
Why a manufacturing leadership developmental role with us versus somewhere else?
