Job Description

From Smart meters to drilling rigs, call centres to turbines, Centrica’s Procurement team is responsible for spending over £5bn per year on whatever the business needs to operate successfully. We do everything from researching supply markets to devising procurement and supply chain strategies, all with the aim of getting maximum value for money.

Our exciting 10-week Procurement and Supply Chain Scheme will give you a real-life look at a graduate career with us, showing how you could help us understand, manage and shape our future. For example, you will discover how we are developing innovative ways to make our supply chains as environmentally friendly as we can.

At the end of the scheme, you will have a deep understanding of this challenging area and the crucial role it plays in our success. More importantly, you will know if you have what it takes to help us invest billions of pounds each year to keep our business running smoothly.

Perform well on the scheme and you could go back to university with an offer to join our graduate programme after you leave. That’s on top of the paid accommodation you get for your placement.

To give you the widest possible experience of life with us, we will encourage you to get involved with our many community and charity activities. In the last three years, students like you have raised over £50K for good causes – learning vital work and life skills in the process. We hope a few friendships have also been made along the way.

Who are we looking for? We’re open to students from any discipline with a keen interest in business and finance, strong leadership skills and a powerful sense of personal and social responsibility.

Qualifications

  • Minimum requirements: 2:1 degree or Masters (with 2:2 degree minimum). You must be in your penultimate or final year of study.
