Job Details
Smithfield Foods Career Foundation Program
A great job-and a great future-awaits you at Smithfield Foods. We are an American food company with a leading position in packaged meats and fresh pork products. We're looking for motivated people who want to join our team and grow lasting and meaningful careers with us.
The Career Foundation Program (CFP) is designed to provide an opportunity for recent college graduates to explore career options through a function-specific rotation. The program is divided into tracks, each of which is oriented towards a different part of the company's operations. The program provides the CFP Associate with an opportunity to learn about an aspect of the company's business while simultaneously seeking a new position to launch a career with Smithfield.
Company senior leaders, along with an assigned manager, mentor and program manager, will be available to provide guidance, training, and partnership throughout the CFP Associate's assigned rotations. Rotations can last anywhere from 18-months to 24-months depending on the rotational track the Associate enters.
Core responsibilities include:
- Grain origination and merchandising
- Grain and ingredient supply chain and logistics
- Grain and ingredient operations
- Grain export
- Cooperation with feed manufacturing and animal nutrition
- Grain and ingredient quality assurance
- Grain accounting
- Marketing and customer relations
- Commodities risk management
- Performs other duties as defined by manager
Our CFP Associates are expected to contribute to the goals of each department to which they are assigned. They will assist in problem-solving, assume leadership roles for certain projects, help the department achieve both short and long-term objectives, and in general deliver high-level results that exceed expectations.
The Career Foundation Program is designed for high potential college/university graduates who can quickly adapt to new environments, show initiative, and take on increasingly complex project responsibilities.
Once the CFP Associate has spent 12 months in the program, they may begin to apply for open positions for which they are qualified and in which they are interested, while at the same time continuing in their functional rotations. Selections for all positions at Smithfield are merit-based so while securing a new position is likely it cannot be guaranteed. Throughout their rotations and their internal job searches, the CFP Associates will receive guidance and career counseling from mentors, managers, and Talent Acquisitions specialists.
Qualifications include:
- Bachelor's degree from an accredited four-year college or university; or currently enrolled college student with an anticipated graduation by end of current semester.
- Ability to relocate one to two times during rotation if needed.
