Engineering Development Program

The SPX Engineering Development Program (EDP) is created around the principle of hiring the best and most talented people, and then providing the necessary means for them to constantly learn, be challenged, mentored, and successful. The EDP is the premier entry point in SPX for either product design engineers or manufacturing engineers who have recently earned a Bachelor's Degree in Structural Engineering, or a Master's Degree in Engineering. During the course of the two-year development program, the engineer will be given four distinct developmental assignments and should take part in advanced professional training and/or related certification(s) that will be made available by SPX. The EDP begins in June of each year and positions are available in numerous locations throughout SPX.

Key exposures to engineering executives and business unit operational leaders

The EDP rotations provide significant exposure to the business unit's senior management team and engineering leaders, in addition to company executives and corporate leaders. Rotations are designed around a business unit's specific needs along with objectives unique to each engineer. These rotations will provide a "big picture" view of the SPX business at the same time offering hands-on, real experiences that aim to sharpen your engineering skills in multiple technical areas.
