Reimagine What’s Possible
Introduction to the CDP Program
At Air Products, we invest early in people with the potential to grow, contribute, and shape the future of our business.
The Career Development Program (CDP) is our flagship 3‑year rotational development program designed for high‑potential graduates at the start of their careers.
As a CDP participant, you will complete three 12‑month assignments, gaining hands‑on experience across different roles across EHS Team. Each assignment is designed to build both technical depth and business understanding, while exposing you to how Air Products operates at scale.
From day one, you will be trusted with real responsibilities, supported by structured development, and encouraged to actively shape your career path.
Program highlights
Three structured 12‑month assignments over 3 years
Clear development objectives and performance reviews
On‑the‑job learning supported by formal training and mentoring
Exposure to senior leaders and cross‑functional teams

As an Environmental Specialist you will be responsible for developing, implementing, and maintaining the organization’s environmental management programs to ensure compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, minimize environmental risk, and support sustainability objectives.
