Supply Chain Development Program (SCDP)

This program is a 24-month rotational leadership program consisting of 3 different assignments across Dover’s global business segments. In each assignment, participants will take meaningful supply chain functional roles at Dover’s various operating companies, as well as its corporate offices, for approximately 8 months each. The aim of the program is to develop and eventually place participants in key supply chain roles that align their area of expertise with Dover’s business needs.

With support and mentorship from the operating company (assignment lead) and Dover headquarter leadership, each assignment will offer a hands-on, supportive environment that fosters both formal and informal learning and development, while delivering business value.
