PepsiCo is on a mission to attract the best and brightest minds in engineering.
The growth of their Engineering Hub, combined with ambitious global growth plans, means that for anyone wishing to have an exciting, ambitious, and different career in engineering, PepsiCo is most definitely the place to be!
To give you a better insight into what this all actually means, and for a preview of what it’s like to work with PepsiCo’s Engineering Hub, we recently sat down with their Senior Engineering Leadership team. Here they share some insights and benefits of a career with PepsiCo…
What type of roles are on offer?
“We provide diverse roles and responsibilities, and people with the right mindset and drive can thrive in these roles. One such role is Global Design Engineering Lead, which you don’t often see in Cork! This type of role involves managing design projects, driving strategy across the business, and working closely with senior leadership. They provide the unique opportunity to see the tangible impact of your work in real-world applications. Not only that but your work is seen by Leaders at the very top of the organisation!”
What kind of people are you looking for?
“We look for people with real leadership potential. Our roles require management, communication, influencing, collaboration, and negotiating skills. Some might already have these in abundance, we’re there to help them further develop these skills. For those with less exposure to leadership roles and skills, we’d encourage them not to be put off… we often see the leadership spark in the talent we work with and will closely work with them to develop and hone these skills.”
“On top of this, the engineers we work with can develop and showcase their leadership abilities in a dynamic and supportive environment, seeing first-hand how their leadership drives success.”
So, these roles involve more than ‘just engineering’?
“100%! Our collaborative environment is designed to foster innovation. Engineers work closely with various departments and teams, leading to more effective problem-solving and project execution. The satisfaction of seeing your collaborative efforts come to life makes it very worthwhile.”
“Careers in Pepsi don’t have to stop in the Engineering org. Engineers can gain experience in different areas and advance their careers within the company, all while observing the direct impact of their work on our success.”
