Discover your full potential at Oshkosh

We care about your personal and professional growth and we want you to discover your full potential. We’ll provide meaningful experiences, connections and opportunities to enable you to be the best version of yourself. Because we know that when our team members realize their greatest potential, our company does the same.


Your growth plan is unique to you

Helping team members discover their full potential is one of the many ways we make a difference in people’s lives. Our team member, Amigh, started with Oshkosh as a temporary Machine Operator, and from the start she was determined to learn everything she could. Empowered and supported by her leaders, she was able to attend different trainings and helped educate her peers with what she learned to improve their processes. Today, Amigh works as a New Hire Training Specialist with our McNeilus business. Amigh never thought she would be presenting in front of people for her career, but her perseverance was sought out by HR. Her role was unique and was created to fit her skills and the needs of the business. Her growth experiences allowed her to reach a potential she didn’t know existed, and she is not done yet. To continue her growth journey, Amigh used Oshkosh's tuition reimbursement support to obtain her Bachelor's degree. She was the first in her family to accomplish this degree! We are proud to support team members like Amigh who are dedicated to making a difference.

Diversity make us stronger

We believe in the power of a People First culture—a culture where every team member feels valued, respected and engaged. That starts with fostering diversity and inclusion across the company, embracing the power of individuality and unique perspectives to build a more connected culture and improve business performance. We believe diversity makes us a stronger company and an even better society. We continue to build an inclusive People First culture that provides everyone an opportunity to bring their whole self to work because to us, it’s the right thing to do.

Doing the right thing is at the core of our purpose—making a difference in the lives of the team members, customers, shareholders and communities that count on us. Rooted deeply by our core values, our focus on building a diverse and inclusive company is more than just a goal, it’s imperative to our business.


Our core values:

Our core values provide the foundation for how we live our purpose and ensure an ethical and People First culture. Our values are more than words on a page. We use them to guide how we do our everyday work so that we can make a positive impact on each other, on our business, on those who rely on our products and in the communities we call home.

We put people first.
We do the right thing.
We persevere.
We are better together.


Putting people first

People are the foundation of our business. That’s why we’re so focused on fostering a People First culture: a culture that empowers team members, inspires collaboration and prioritizes personal and professional development. As part of our culture, we celebrate what makes each of us unique, valuing others’ words and ideas. We keep people safe, both those within our walls and those using our products. We respect the impact we have on each other, on the people we serve and in communities around the world.

In December 2020, Oshkosh was named one of the World’s Best Employers of 2020 by Forbes and was ranked #76 out of 750. This is the first time Oshkosh has received this global designation.

We care about your wellbeing

Whether you’re at work or at home, we want you to be your best self. That’s why we do everything we can to help you and your family thrive—physically, financially and emotionally. At Oshkosh, wellbeing goes well beyond insurance and retirement contributions. We offer a number of inclusive and empowering programs to ensure no matter where you are in your journey, you are able to leave work every day better than you arrived. Our goal is to support and help create an empowered, engaged and energized workforce that allows you to be yourself and enjoy coming to work each and every day.


Wellbeing looks a little different for everyone

Senior IT Business Analyst, Scott, has always been physically active and focused on his personal wellbeing. In 2019, he experienced a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and was fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). He faced a challenging recovery and needed Oshkosh support. We facilitated his ability to work remotely, because of driving restrictions. Utilizing the Oshkosh Accelerate wellbeing program, Scott was able to build up his confidence after his recovery with a goal to be mentally and physically ready to run in a local half marathon just four months after his SCA, which he did! Caring for our team members' physical, emotional and financial wellbeing is important to us, so team members like Scott, can achieve their goals.

Work on projects that matter

We value creativity, innovation and diverse perspectives. As an intern, you are truly part of the Oshkosh family and we want to provide you with the opportunity to apply your classroom learnings to our real business situations. The projects you will lead and support are instrumental to our business and we encourage you to bring your fresh perspective to help make a difference. You’ll be encouraged to be hands-on and experiential in the work you do every day and by the end of your internship, you’ll have built a great network of connections and even greater experiences.

It’s our mission to create a workplace that encourages you to be passionate about the work you are doing and provide opportunities for you to grow as you navigate your career. As a company, we advance together when we share our unique talents. With the skills you bring to the Oshkosh team, we can transform tomorrow.
