Required skillsLeadership Team working Problem solving Communication Creativity Commercial Awareness Pressure Resistance Flexibility Networking DescriptionThe NPT is a special team of around 50 engineers from different
nationalities and academic backgrounds. It is basically an internal
consultancy group. How the NPT works Typical NPT areas of activity
NPT Career Development As a new NPT member you can have up to six weeks training at the International Headquarters, and then immediately start your first mission abroad. On-the-job training continues during your first projects. During your four years in the team there is continuous training to develop your technical, managerial and leadership skills, giving you the necessary tools to be promoted from Team Member to Group Leader and ultimately to Project Leader. As a Project Leader one of many opportunities you may have is to lead Target Setting Teams – teams of experts who conduct several four weeks assignments in order to establish operational targets based on Best Practices. The four-year NPT experience can lead to many interesting positions in the areas of: production, supply-chain, internal industrial consulting and R&D – either as an expatriate or as a local employee in a Nestlé Market somewhere in the world. RequirementsIs the NPT right for you
Well, that depends on you. But the people who enjoy working on the NPT and are most successful tend to share certain characteristics. They like to spend ten to eleven months a year travelling around the world working in teams. They are extremely flexible and mobile, and adapt easily to different working conditions during the first four years with the company. They are able to “live out of a suitcase”. They have a strong team spirit, an affinity for other cultures and a willingness to work with people from different countries and backgrounds. They tend to have an open mind, a broad outlook, and varied interests. They have the ability to be a leader, to negotiate and to communicate with tact and diplomacy. They have an entrepreneurial spirit, are self-driven and are good at working as results-oriented “change agents”. If this sounds like you, and if you are a creative, motivated and hard working engineer with a degree in food technology, industrial, mechanical or chemical engineering or a related subject, then the NPT could be the place for you. You need to be fluent in English and two other major languages. Some practical work experience through internships or work placement is also recommended. |
