FAQ
P&G Product Supply is where raw materials are made into finished products, are packaged, are checked for quality, and are finally shipped to customers all over the world.
P&G Product Supply is made up of six areas: P&G Engineering, P&G Manufacturing, P&G Purchasing, P&G Quality Assurance, P&G Supply Chain & Logistics, and Innovation Diamond Management. Each area is made up of a number of roles. Within engineering, roles cover process, packaging, robotics, and more. Manufacturing positions involve production packaging, quality, process, and physical distribution, among other areas of focus. You can search our jobs for a comprehensive list of current manufacturing jobs and engineering jobs at P&G.
Engineering is the only area where roles may require a specific major. For example, electrical engineering would require a certain degree of knowledge to help you get started in your position. That said, we will also provide you with all the training you need for your position, so we are more interested in your passion and aptitude for learning than your academic background. Manufacturing roles do not require any specific qualifications, but always check the eligibility criteria when applying for a student program, internship, or job.
P&G Product Supply teams work at the forefront of modern manufacturing. When you think of a P&G factory, you might imagine production lines, traditional warehousing, and forklift trucks. This is true, but you should also picture a world of automation, robots, sensors, lasers, advanced technology, innovative tools, and custom-built machinery. It’s also an environment of teamwork, creative problem-solving, and continuous learning and development.
Which products, brands, and categories you will work on depends on which plant you work at. This is because not all markets have the same products. For example, we sell Tide in the United States but not in the UK, so none of our UK manufacturing sites produce Tide products. Also, some of our plants are dedicated to a particular category, such as paper products (toilet tissue, kitchen roll, and diapers), and some are purpose-built to produce a single product, like our most advanced Braun razor.
