Job Description

The EDGE program accelerates the professional growth of future people leaders and technical experts. You will have the chance to gain cross-functional experiences to enhance your professional growth while learning about the core of our Integrated Supply Chain organization through four different six-month rotations.

Upon graduation, you are promoted into a longer-term role that matches the associate’s professional interests. Associates will graduate into an individual contributor or technically focused role or may choose a supervisor role.

Location 

Location flexibility is a requirement of this position. Rotation assignments could include facilities in Wisconsin, Ohio or elsewhere in the US. To successfully graduate from the program, you must relocate to at least one new, US-based site during the course of the program. Site availabilities change depending on business need and remaining rotation requirements. Most common sites include:

• Wisconsin: Milwaukee and Mequon (considered the same general location for this requirement since they are in the same geographic area), Richland Center, and Ladysmith
• Ohio: Twinsburg and Mayfield Heights (considered the same general location for this requirement since they are in the same geographic area)
• New York: East Setauket
• Indiana: Whitestown

Monetary relocation assistance is provided during each rotation. Due to the nature of manufacturing work, most roles are required to be in person while some business-focused rotations may have the potential for a hybrid work arrangement with most of your working time occurring on-site at a Rockwell Automation facility. Fully remote positions are not available via this program.
