Launch your environmental, health and safety career by solving real business challenges, developing as a leader, and gaining experience across a MacLean-Fogg manufacturing facility and a Corporate or Shared Services team.

The Manufacturing Management Program (MMP) is MacLean-Fogg's two-year rotational development program for early-career environmental, health and safety professionals who want more than a traditional entry-level role.

Over two one-year rotations, you will work alongside experienced professionals, manufacturing teams, and leaders, gaining hands-on experience in risk recognition, employee engagement, environmental compliance, and continuous improvement. At the same time, you will build the leadership, communication, and business skills needed to grow your career at MacLean-Fogg.

What You Will Do

• Analyze EHS observations and data to identify patterns and practical improvement opportunities

• Partner with employees, supervisors, and leaders to communicate expectations and strengthen safe work practices

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

Your projects may involve risk recognition, employee engagement, environmental compliance, and continuous improvement.

More Than a Rotational EHS Job

MMP combines hands-on environmental, health and safety experience with structured leadership development.

Throughout the program, you will:

• Complete leadership development alongside your day-to-day environmental, health and safety work

• Build a mentoring relationship with an experienced employee at another MacLean-Fogg location

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

• Build relationships across manufacturing facilities, Corporate or Shared Services teams, and functions

• Gain exposure to how environmental, health and safety decisions affect employees, 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 MacLean-Fogg.
