Rotational Program (HR)

Tenneco’s Rotational Development Programs prepare highly talented entry level professionals to assume future leadership roles in fast-paced, results-driven disciplines. The programs are designed to equip participants with a broad overview of the company, business units and functional areas. Assignments taking place in plant, technical and/or corporate environments. The rotational program consists of two locations with multiple assignments, with each location assignment lasting approximately 15-2 months. 

The assignments will increase in their level of responsibility and complexity, and involve working closely with all levels of leadership within the company. A critical component of the rotational program is participation in business and leadership training initiatives, both formal and experiential, to broaden your understanding of Tenneco’s business environment. This program also develops critical leadership skills and will establish a professional network needed to support your career growth.

At Tenneco, we know our people are the cornerstone of our success! This program is specifically designed to give our HR Representatives the critical skills and industry experience needed to successfully handle all the needs of our current and future employees in professional and production settings. Upon completion of the rotational program, these employees will have been exposed to a broad range of company settings which provides the knowledge needed to make informed decisions about an employee's career progression.
