Manufacturing Management Program; MMP Engineering

Launch your engineering career by solving real manufacturing challenges, developing as a leader, and experiencing two Mac Lean-Fogg manufacturing facilities.

The Manufacturing Management Program (MMP) is Mac Lean-Fogg's two-year rotational development program for early-career engineers who want more than a traditional entry-level engineering role.

Over two one-year rotations, you will work alongside experienced engineers, manufacturing teams, and leaders to improve processes, solve quality and cost challenges, and make an impact on the business. At the same time, you will build the leadership, communication, and business skills needed to grow your career at Mac Lean-Fogg.

• Salary: $75,000

• Program length: Two years with two one-year rotations

• Start date: July 2027

• Locations: Two Mac Lean-Fogg manufacturing facilities in the United States

• Relocation: Fully covered for both rotations

• First rotation location confirmed: Late April 2027

• Employment: Full-time

Important: MMP participants must be willing to relocate anywhere in the United States for both rotations. Your first location will not be confirmed until late April 2027.

Your rotations are designed to give you meaningful engineering responsibility from the start. You will:

• Partner with engineers, operators, supervisors, and other team members to improve manufacturing processes and performance

• Analyze process, quality, and cost data and turn your findings into practical improvements

• Use firsthand observation and engineering analysis to identify problems and recommend solutions

• Lead a first-year project scoped with your supervisor and present your results to senior leaders

• Take on a larger second-year project aligned with your experience, development, and career goals

• Present your work and recommendations to leaders throughout the program

• Complete a capstone presentation at the end of your second year

Your projects may involve areas such as manufacturing engineering, process improvement, quality, cost reduction, continuous improvement, data analysis, and operational performance
.

MMP combines hands-on engineering experience with structured leadership development.

Throughout the program, you will:

• Complete leadership development alongside your day-to-day engineering work

• Build a mentoring relationship with an experienced employee at another Mac Lean-Fogg facility

• Connect with an MMP participant who is at least one year ahead of you

• Build relationships across multiple manufacturing facilities and functions

• Gain exposure to how engineering decisions affect operations, customers, cost, and the broader business

• Develop experience communicating recommendations to both manufacturing teams and senior leaders

By the end of the program, you will have spent two years solving real business problems while building a broader understanding of manufacturing, leadership, and Mac Lean-Fogg.

MMP is designed for engineers who are curious, adaptable, and ready to take ownership.

Successful participants can:

• Solve problems when the answer is not obvious or the available information is incomplete

• Communicate effectively with people across the organization, from manufacturing employees to senior executives

• Build relationships and credibility when joining a new team or manufacturing facility

• Use data and firsthand observation to make sound recommendations

• Take ownership of projects from initial scope through results

• Understand how engineering decisions affect operations, customers, cost, and the broader business

• Adapt quickly to new environments, teams, and challenges

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or…
