Operations Leadership Development Program (OLDP)

How does it feel to work on a team driven to make a big impact? Empowering. We believe your career should always be growing. And that’s exactly what it will do at BAE Systems as part of our Leadership Development Program (LDP). The LDP is designed to accelerate the development and career of highly-motivated entry-level individuals who aspire to achieve their leadership potential. This is accomplished through challenging and rewarding rotational assignments, technical and leadership training, advanced education, leadership opportunities and exposure, and mentorship.

Our Operations employees turn innovative engineering designs into real solutions to meet our customers’ needs. From supply chain, to manufacturing and test, Electronic Systems offers opportunities to work with technology rarely accessible in other manufacturing firms. You’ll hit the ground running with a company truly committed to your growth as you enjoy a special camaraderie on a team dedicated to protecting what really matters.

• Rotations: The OLDP is designed to provide a diverse set of experiences through challenging rotational assignments. Rotations will expose participants to different business units, functions, facilities, and managers.
• Education: Participants are required to complete a graduate degree on a part-time basis, if not already completed. The school and specific degree (Ex. MBA, master’s in engineering, etc.) is left up to the candidate, providing it is applicable to the business. BAE Systems provides tuition assistance for this degree.
• Mentorship: A mentor is assigned to each OLDP participant to expose them to diverse and challenging experiences, while providing guidance in choosing rotations, career development, and off-program placement.
